This lower-ground, one-bedroom flat with a separate study offers an attractive entry point to Telegraph Hill living. The bright open-plan reception and modern fitted kitchen create an airy social space, while the generously sized double bedroom opens directly onto a private courtyard — a rare feature at this price.
Set within a mid-terrace building from the 1930s, the home benefits from a very long lease (987 years) and share of freehold, making it straightforward for buyers seeking security and low ongoing ground-rent cost. The property is well-served by nearby amenities and transport (New Cross Gate, Brockley, Nunhead), plus excellent mobile and fast broadband — appealing to professionals and commuters.
There are a few practical points to note: the flat sits on the lower ground floor, which may suit buyers prioritising quiet and outside access but could feel darker than upper floors. The building has solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation, and the double-glazing installation date is unknown — you may want to budget for insulation or window upgrades. No dedicated parking is provided.
Overall this is a sensible, well-located purchase for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a modern-feeling one-bedroom with outside space, strong local schools nearby, and long leasehold security. The communal garden and private courtyard add lifestyle appeal without large maintenance responsibilities.
