A bright, stylish one-bedroom apartment set within a period conversion on Lewisham Way, moments from New Cross and New Cross Gate stations. The reception room benefits from high Victorian ceilings and large sash-style windows, creating a light, airy living space that easily accommodates dining. The separate modern kitchen and contemporary bathroom make the flat move-in ready for a single occupant or couple.
Practical strengths include plentiful built-in storage in the double bedroom, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, residents’ parking permit availability and no regular service charge. Building insurance is listed at £547.16 per annum and ground rent is payable (approximately £150–£200 annually). The 88-year lease is shorter than new-builds but still offers transferrable ownership; buyers should confirm lease details with a solicitor.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the building is a solid-brick Victorian construction with no assumed cavity insulation, double-glazing install date is unknown, and the wider area has a higher crime rate and local deprivation indicators. These factors may affect running costs (heating) and resale for some purchasers. There is clear renovation potential for anyone wanting to add insulation, improve energy efficiency or update finishes to personal taste.
Overall this property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking an affordable, characterful flat with strong transport links and local amenities nearby. It offers immediate convenience with scope for sensible improvements to increase comfort and long-term value.
