This compact one-bedroom flat on Heathdene Drive offers an affordable entry to Belvedere with clear upside for buyers willing to improve it. The layout includes a comfortable living room, separate kitchen and double bedroom, and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating for year-round comfort. Local amenities, parks and strong transport links make it practical for commuting or letting.
Important to note: the property is leasehold with only 55 years remaining. That low lease length is likely to restrict mortgage options and will require negotiation on a lease extension or a cash purchase. Buyers should obtain specialist legal and mortgage advice before committing.
For investors and first-time buyers prepared to refurbish, there is scope to add value through cosmetic updates and reconfiguration within the existing footprint. The residents’ car park and proximity to Belvedere Station, Abbey Wood (Elizabeth Line), schools and green spaces are genuine selling points that support rental demand and everyday convenience.
Overall this is a small, practical flat with good transport links and renovation potential, but the short lease is a material drawback that must be addressed for mortgageable purchase or long-term ownership.
