This one-bedroom first-floor flat occupies about 459 sq ft in a Georgian red-brick building on Lee High Road. Recently refurbished in 2024, the interior features parquet wood flooring, a spacious reception with a feature fireplace, a separate contemporary kitchen, and a double bedroom with good natural light. Communal gardens and allocated off-street parking add outdoor space and convenience in a central location.
The property is offered chain free and presents clear short-term lettable or owner-occupier potential for a cash buyer or a buyer prepared to extend the lease. The 60-year remaining lease is short and may make mortgage lending difficult or impossible without a lease extension; buyers should obtain specialist legal and finance advice. Ground rent is £125 per year.
Location benefits include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, regular buses to Lewisham station and easy access to Blackheath’s cafes and amenities. Nearby schools include highly regarded St Margaret’s Lee CofE Primary (Outstanding) and several good secondary options. Note the wider area records above-average crime and higher levels of deprivation, which should be weighed against price and local transport links.
Overall this is a newly renovated, characterful period flat offered for a straightforward purchase, best suited to cash buyers or investors familiar with short-lease acquisitions. Any buyer planning mortgage finance should explore lease-extension options and lending feasibility before committing.
