Summary - 8, Gorman Road SE18 5SA
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Practical garden flat near fast transport links and local amenities.
Private garden accessed directly from the lounge
An easily managed one-bedroom garden flat of about 515 sqft, this property suits first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking a Woolwich base with outdoor space. The lounge opens onto a private garden, extending living space in warmer months and offering a rare outdoor area for this building type. The separate kitchen and a generous bedroom make the layout practical for daily living or rental demand.
Transport links are a clear strength: Woolwich Arsenal DLR, National Rail and the Elizabeth Line provide fast connections into central London and Canary Wharf. Local amenities and recent regeneration have brought shops, cafés and riverside walks nearby, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within reach.
Buyers should be aware of several material points. The flat is leasehold and sits in a neighbourhood classed as deprived with a higher local crime rate; these factors will influence mortgage choices and insurance costs. The building dates from the 1950s–60s and external cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy-efficiency improvements may be needed. Double glazing is present but install date is unknown. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators.
Overall this is a practical, well-located flat offering immediate occupation or straightforward rental potential, but factor in leasehold constraints, local area challenges and likely future retrofit work when assessing value.
