A well-presented one-bedroom first-floor apartment on a quiet, tree-lined stretch of Gautrey Road, five minutes’ walk from Queens Road and Nunhead stations. The 461 sqft (approx.) layout offers a large double bedroom, bright living/dining room with stripped timber floors and large windows, a modern kitchen, contemporary bathroom and useful external shed/bike store. Access to a communal garden adds outdoor space rarely found on inner-city flats.
This property will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a compact, low-maintenance home in an established, cosmopolitan area. The flat is neutral throughout and shows well, ready for immediate occupation or straightforward updating to add value. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and rental demand.
Practical points to note: the block dates from the 1950s–60s and is of system-built construction with assumed no cavity insulation in the walls. The lease has 105 years remaining, ground rent is nominal, and annual service charge is £1,645 — factor these into running costs. The area scores as relatively deprived overall, and parts of the building are budget in specification, which may mean some future maintenance or modernisation is advisable.
Overall this is a compact, well-located apartment offering transport convenience, good local schools nearby, and clear potential for someone looking for an affordable London entry point or a straightforward rental asset.
