Summary - 361, Evelyn Street SE8 5QW
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact chain-free studio with long lease and excellent transport links.
Chain-free studio with private entrance
A compact, chain-free studio with its own private entrance in central Deptford, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance London base. The apartment is presented with neutral finishes, double glazing, laminate floors and a functional open-plan layout that maximises the 322 sq ft internal area.
Key practical benefits include a long lease (117 years), low ground rent (£10 p.a.) and relatively low council tax, alongside fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for remote work or letting. Communal grounds provide outdoor space, and the property sits within easy walking distance of a major rail station and the local shops, cafés and facilities of SE8.
Be clear about limitations: the studio is small and will suit one person or a pied-à-terre rather than a family home. The building dates from the mid-20th century and walls are assumed to have no added insulation, so heating bills and future retrofit costs should be considered. Service charges average £1,478 per year. The surrounding area is classified as deprived with average local crime rates; buyers should view in person to assess the neighbourhood feel.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-entry option for someone wanting central London convenience with a long lease and easy letting potential. It works well as a starter home or rental investment, provided you accept the compact layout and factor in possible fabric upgrades over time.
