This ground-floor garden flat in Bromley blends period character with modern fittings, making it an accessible step-on ladder for first-time buyers. Two double bedrooms, a spacious open-plan living area and a contemporary kitchen with bi-fold doors create a bright, practical living space. The private rear garden and driveway parking are rare extras for a central flat and add everyday convenience.
Practical benefits include a long lease (c.163 years) under a share-of-freehold arrangement, useful basement storage with light and power, and a generous bathroom with both a bath and separate shower. The layout suits couples or young families who need an extra room for home working or a child. Local amenities and multiple train stations are within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note the property sits in an area with very high recorded crime levels; prospective purchasers may want to review local safety data and security measures. The building is solid-brick (typical of 1900–1929 construction) and appears to lack cavity wall insulation, which could mean higher heating costs and potential further insulation work. Service charges are charged “as and when,” so budget for intermittent costs.
Overall this is a well-presented, average-sized flat offering low-maintenance outdoor space, off-street parking and a long lease — a pragmatic, characterful choice for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a central Bromley location.
