This bright, chain-free one-bedroom apartment sits in a purpose-built block between East Dulwich and Forest Hill, offering a practical first home or buy-to-let in SE22. At about 558 sq ft the flat feels roomy for its size thanks to an 18x17-ft open-plan kitchen-reception with large patio doors and a Juliet balcony that looks over well-kept communal gardens. The accommodation is in good condition throughout with modern finishes and double glazing.
Practical running costs and tenure are important here: the property is leasehold with c.130 years remaining, an annual service charge around £2,556 and ground rent about £300 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters and broadband speeds are reported as slow — factors to consider if you work from home.
Outside, the block benefits from large communal gardens and the option to purchase a permit for allocated off-street parking behind secure electric gates, a useful rarity in the area. Transport links are strong with Forest Hill station nearby and easy bus and cycle routes to central London, plus a wide selection of local shops, cafés and green spaces.
Overall this apartment will suit a first-time buyer or investor looking for a move-in-ready urban base with outdoor space and parking potential, provided they accept leasehold costs and electrical heating. The property’s chain-free status and long lease make it straightforward to purchase.
