Summary - Grove Place, Eltham, SE9 SE9 5AN
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Spacious one-bed with patio, parking and conversion potential near Eltham centre.
Larger-than-average one-bedroom — 756 sq ft, as big as a two-bed
Spacious, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offering generous living space and clear scope to create a two-bedroom home. The 21ft x 19ft open-plan kitchen/reception is an impressive central space, filled with natural light from large windows and sliding doors that lead onto a private patio — a rare find at this price. Allocated off-street parking and a long lease (992 years) add practical value for owner-occupiers and investors alike.
The building is contemporary and well-presented, with low-maintenance external areas and modern finishes inside. Main heating is via a community scheme; this provides consistent warmth but may mean shared service arrangements. Ground rent is modest at £250, and council tax is described as cheap, keeping ongoing costs predictable.
Notable negatives are factual and important: the wider area records high crime levels, which may concern some buyers and could affect rental demand or insurance costs. Converting to a formal two-bedroom layout is possible given the apartment’s size, but would require planning/technical checks and internal work. Buyers should also confirm service charge details and any community-scheme obligations before committing.
This property suits a first-time buyer seeking extra space and future value uplift from a conversion, or an investor looking for a larger-than-average flat in a well-connected town. Its combination of indoor space, outdoor patio, parking and long lease presents straightforward potential — balanced by the need to factor in local safety statistics and any conversion costs.
