Compact one-bedroom with communal garden and period features, near transport.
Characterful Victorian church conversion with tall arched windows
Set within a distinctive Victorian Gothic Revival church conversion, this one-bedroom flat offers characterful period exterior and tall windows bringing good natural light. The internal layout uses 494 sq ft efficiently with contemporary wooden flooring and a compact reception room suitable for city living.
Residents benefit from access to a communal garden and strong mobile signal; local amenities and transport links are nearby, and several primary and secondary schools rated Good or Outstanding are within reach. Service charge and ground rent are modest for the setting at £2,500pa and £100pa respectively.
A material drawback is the short lease of 60 years. Many mortgage lenders will decline to lend on properties with this lease length, which limits marketability and may require a cash buyer or a costly lease extension. The area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime — important considerations for buyers weighing safety and long-term investment.
This flat suits a buyer seeking an affordable, characterful London home who understands the lease implications — either a cash purchaser or someone prepared to fund a lease extension. The property presents renovation potential and immediate move-in readiness for owner-occupiers wanting a compact city base with period charm.
