A bright one-bedroom apartment set within a handsome period conversion on Lewisham Way, minutes from New Cross and New Cross Gate stations. High ceilings and large sash-style windows give the main room a generous, airy feeling, while fitted storage in the double bedroom keeps the footprint practical. The separate modern kitchen and tidy bathroom make the flat move-in ready for a single buyer or couple.
Practical running costs are clear: there is no annual service charge, building insurance is c. £547 per year, and an annual ground rent applies (stated at £200). Residents’ parking permits are available and the property benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing. The flat measures about 454 sq ft, typical for town-centre one-bed conversions.
Important facts to note: the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining — below ideal for long-term mortgage flexibility and may affect lender availability and future costs. The building is solid-brick construction with assumed no wall insulation, so further thermal upgrades could be needed. The location is inner-city and vibrant but records higher local crime levels, which some buyers will want to consider alongside the convenient transport links and local amenities.
This home suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry into SE14 with good transport links and character features, or an investor after a centrally located let with straightforward management. It offers immediate comfort with clear potential to increase value through energy improvements and cosmetic updating.
