Characterful one-bedroom conversion close to New Cross Gate station, ready to move into..
Victorian conversion with high ceilings and original features
Set within a detached Victorian building, this one-bedroom conversion offers generous period proportions and high ceilings in a compact 538 sq ft layout. The open-plan living/kitchen/diner measures approximately 18' and benefits from large windows, natural light and original character features; the flat is presented in good order and ready to move into.
Practical details are straightforward: EPC grade C, mains gas boiler with radiators, double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The property sits a short walk from New Cross Gate rail and Overground links, putting central London and local amenities within easy reach. Several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are nearby.
There are some material points to note. The lease has 87 years remaining; the vendor will serve a Section 42 Notice and assign rights so a lease extension can be progressed, but buyers should factor legal costs and timing into plans. The building is solid brick with no known cavity insulation, so buyers considering energy upgrades should allow for retrofit work.
Local context: the immediate area is inner-city and cosmopolitan with good transport and conveniences, but it records above-average crime and higher area deprivation than surrounding boroughs. Service charge and ground rent are modest (£777.57pa service charge; £200 ground rent) and council tax is in Band A, which helps running costs. This property suits a first-time buyer seeking a characterful starter home close to transport, or an investor targeting strong rental demand in New Cross.
