Victorian conversion with high ceilings, Crittall windows and a large communal garden, 800m to Zone 2 station.
Share of freehold with c.950 years remaining, chain-free sale
A light-filled, characterful two-bedroom first-floor flat in Blackheath Conservation Area, recently and sensitively reconfigured to suit modern living. The 2019 architect-led refurbishment included full rewiring and a new boiler, while tasteful additions such as Crittall-style windows, high ceilings and clever built-in storage retain period appeal. The open-plan living/kitchen looks over a long, well-kept communal garden — rare for a flat in this location.
Practical benefits are immediate: share of freehold with c.950 years remaining, chain-free sale, low reported crime and excellent digital connectivity with fast broadband. The building is managed by a resident company; communal upkeep (hall carpets, intercom, retiling) has been addressed recently, and a modest service charge (c. £1,320pa) covers gardening, insurance and a sinking fund.
Suitability is broad: a strong option for first-time buyers or professionals seeking Zone 2 access (approx. 800m to Lewisham station) with parkland on the doorstep. The second bedroom is compact and works well as a guest room, study or dressing room rather than a large double. Energy performance is currently EPC D with scope to improve; walls are solid brick (insulation may be limited), so prospective buyers should factor potential insulation or energy-upgrade costs into budgets.
Overall, this flat combines ready-to-enjoy move-in condition with further upside from targeted improvements. It rewards buyers who value period character, generous communal outdoor space, easy commuter links and the community-led control that comes with a share of freehold.
