Summary - 87, Amblecote Road SE12 9TR
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free two-bed with balcony, long lease and residents' parking.
Two double bedrooms and one bathroom
Set on the second floor of a 1930s Art Deco block, this two-double-bedroom flat suits first-time buyers and investors seeking immediate move-in or rental potential. The apartment benefits from a south-facing private balcony, good natural light and practical storage, all arranged across a traditional layout that feels comfortable and well-proportioned for its 616 sq ft.
Practical running costs are clear: a long lease (131 years), a modest ground rent (£100 pa) and an annual service charge around £1,000. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators; glazing is double but install date is unknown. The property is chain-free and offered at an accessible price point for the area.
Location is a strong selling point — convenient access to Grove Park station and regular bus routes to Lewisham and Bromley, plus nearby green space at Chinbrook Meadows and local shops on Baring Road. Council Tax Band B makes ongoing costs relatively low. Note the neighbourhood records above-average crime and higher area deprivation than average, which may affect some buyers’ priorities.
The building’s 1930s solid-brick construction and Art Deco features give the flat character, though walls are assumed uninsulated and some internal areas show mid-century fittings that could benefit from cosmetic updating. Overall, this is a straightforward, well-located two-bedroom home with clear lease terms and good transport links — ideal as a starter home or rental investment.
