Newly renovated one-bed with garden share and excellent commuter links.
One-bedroom ground-floor conversion, approx. 517 sq ft
This newly renovated one-bedroom ground-floor conversion sits in a Victorian terrace on Plum Lane, minutes from open green space at Plumstead Common, Shrewsbury Park and Oxleas Woods. The flat has been updated throughout with double glazing, central heating, shaker-style fitted kitchen and an Energy Rating C — move-in ready and offered with vacant possession.
The well-proportioned living room and double bedroom retain period features such as high ceilings, sash windows and an original fireplace, giving character alongside modern finishes. A small private front garden and a share of the pretty rear garden extend the living space outdoors.
Transport links suit commuters: short bus ride to Woolwich Arsenal for the Elizabeth Line, DLR and Overground for fast access to Canary Wharf and central London. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working or streaming.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 89 years remaining, which may affect mortgage options and future value unless extended. There is no ground rent or service charge, but occupants share 50/50 responsibility for communal works when required. The local area is classified as deprived, and residents should weigh community and amenity factors alongside the strong transport and green-space advantages.
Overall this flat is a compact, characterful and largely maintenance-free home for a commuter or first-time buyer who prioritises location, ready-to-live-in condition and outdoor access, but who is comfortable managing a shorter lease and shared responsibility for communal works.
