Set on the ground floor of a small, mid‑20th century modernist block, this larger‑than‑average one‑bed apartment sits a short walk from Blackheath Common and Blackheath Village. The flat offers a bright 23'4" reception, a separate spacious kitchen, double glazing and direct access to well‑kept communal gardens — ideal for those seeking easy green space in an inner‑city setting. A garage en‑bloc and free bay parking adjacent to the development add practical convenience.
The long lease (134 years) and chain‑free sale make this a straightforward purchase for first‑time buyers, investors or a London pied‑à‑terre. Service charges and a modest ground rent apply (service charge c. £1,287pa; ground rent £45pa). Council tax band B is relatively low for the area.
Be pragmatic about running costs and connectivity: heating is by electric room heaters (no communal gas central heating) and broadband speeds are reported slow. The block appears well maintained but the apartment’s construction era (1983–1990) and pre‑2002 double glazing suggest some elements may benefit from updating over time.
With excellent mobile signal, low local crime and very convenient access to Blackheath and transport links (Blackheath station c. 0.5 miles), the flat offers strong locational appeal. Viewings recommended if you prioritise proximity to green space and a ready‑to‑move‑into central London base with investment potential.
