A well-presented two-bedroom period conversion occupying the ground floor of a handsome Victorian semi-detached building on Mycenae Road. The apartment offers about 750 sq ft of living space with high ceilings, large sash windows and a bright, open-plan reception that combines original character with contemporary finishes. Chain-free and sold with a long 958-year lease and share of freehold, it’s ready for immediate occupation.
Practical benefits include a private decking area, double glazing fitted since 2002 and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators. Commuters will appreciate the short walk to Westcombe Park station (Zone 3) and easy access to Greenwich Park, Blackheath Common and local cafés, shops and schools. The layout provides two bedrooms, one bathroom and a generous reception and kitchen, suitable for everyday family living or rental income.
Known limitations are straightforward: broadband speeds in the area are reported slow, and the building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated (typical of pre-1900 construction), which can affect running costs and thermal comfort. The property sits in an area with pockets of deprivation and average local crime; buyers should consider these wider contextual factors alongside the home’s strong transport and green-space links.
Overall this home suits commuters or young families seeking period charm, convenient transport and outdoor space, without the premium price of larger Blackheath houses. It presents a comfortable, ready-to-live-in option with some scope for energy improvement and cosmetic updating if desired.
