A compact, chain-free one-bedroom maisonette ideal for first-time buyers or commuters. The property sits a three-minute walk from Abbey Wood Elizabeth Line station, offering direct links across London — a clear perk for anyone working in the city. The open-plan living/kitchen faces Bostall Woods, bringing greenery into the apartment and making the most of the view.
Practical details include a very long lease (952 years), allocated off-street parking and double glazing fitted after 2002. The flat measures about 452 sq ft (approx. 45 sqm) and includes an entrance hall, landing, open-plan living/kitchen, bedroom with built-in storage and a bathroom. Service charges are modest at £130.77 per quarter (around £523.08 annually) and council tax is in Band B.
Be aware of some material points: heating is by electric room heaters only, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas central heating. The local area records above-average crime levels, so buyers should consider personal security measures. The property was built in the late 1970s/early 1980s and may suit buyers content with a tidy, ready-to-live-in home rather than those seeking period features.
Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance purchase for someone prioritising transport links and long lease security. Video and 3D floorplan are available for remote viewing; an in-person visit will best convey the woodland aspect and the apartment’s layout.
