Brand-new one-bedroom shared ownership apartment with balcony and fast links to central London.
Eighth-floor one-bedroom with private balcony and strong natural light
This newly built one-bedroom apartment on the eighth floor offers modern open-plan living with a private balcony and excellent natural light. Finished in contemporary fixtures with integrated appliances and under-unit lighting, the home benefits from a sprinkler system, bike store, communal roof terrace and a 10-year build warranty for peace of mind.
Located in Lewisham town centre beside the River Ravensbourne, the development is around a seven-minute walk to Lewisham station with fast links to London Bridge and Canary Wharf — ideal for first-time buyers working in central London or Canary Wharf. The apartment’s 25% shared ownership route reduces the upfront cost: a 25% share priced at £107,500 with a £5,375 deposit and an indicative monthly rent of £739 on the unsold share.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is leasehold and sold via shared ownership, with ongoing rent and likely service charges and staircasing costs to be confirmed. The local area is classified as deprived and has an above-average crime rate, which may concern some purchasers. Council tax banding is currently unknown.
This apartment suits someone seeking an affordable route onto the housing ladder who prioritises transport links, modern low-maintenance living and warranty-backed new-build finishes. It also offers potential for future staircasing to increase ownership, but buyers should factor in ongoing rent, community heating arrangements and the urban context when deciding to view.
