A compact, move-in-ready one-bedroom apartment in Lee that suits a first-time buyer seeking a well-connected, low-maintenance home. The open-plan living/kitchen benefits from integrated appliances, new double glazing and electric underfloor heating throughout, making daily living comfortable and economical. The private landscaped front garden and shed are uncommon extras for a flat at this size.
Practical ownership is straightforward: the property is chain free, offered on a long lease (circa 119 years), with below-average service charges and a modest ground rent. Lee station is just 0.2 miles away with direct links into central London, and local amenities and several well-rated schools are within easy reach.
Important considerations: the apartment is small (about 369 sq ft) and best suited to single occupancy or couples. The building dates from the late 1960s and external cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, which may limit thermal efficiency despite new glazing and underfloor heating. The immediate area records higher crime levels, so buyers should view in person to assess local suitability.
Overall this is a sensible, low-hassle entry into the Lewisham market — compact but modern inside, with good transport links and a private garden space. Buyers wanting more living space or maximum thermal performance should factor in potential retrofit work.
