Summary - FLAT 34, KEATS HOUSE, PORCHESTER MEAD BR3 1TD
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Well-located studio with garage and quick train links to central London.
Large open-plan main room with newly fitted carpets
This compact one-bedroom apartment in Porchester Mead offers straightforward, low-maintenance city living with excellent local transport links. The main room is open-plan with newly fitted carpets and neutral decor, creating a ready-to-move-in blank canvas. A modern fitted kitchen with appliances and a separate bathroom complete the accommodation, while a private garage is a practical and rare local benefit.
At 328 sq ft the apartment is small and best suited to a single buyer, first-time purchaser, or investor seeking a rental opportunity. Heating is electric with room heaters rather than central gas, and the energy performance is rated D, so running costs can be higher than newer builds. The block dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s with low ceilings in parts – buyers should expect the proportions to reflect that era.
Financially the long lease (999 years from 2017) is a strong positive, but service charges are notable at about £1,984 per year; there is no separate ground rent. The area offers fast rail connections to central London from nearby stations and a broad local amenity mix on Beckenham High Street, though the wider neighbourhood shows higher crime and area deprivation statistics.
Overall this is a practical, well-presented urban apartment with sensible ownership terms and immediate rental or occupancy potential. Buyers seeking larger living space, gas central heating, or a modern build should compare alternatives, but for those prioritising location, transport and a private garage, this property provides clear value.
