A compact, characterful one-bedroom apartment on the ground floor of a 1930s Victorian terrace, offering 517 sq ft of practical living space and a private garden. The flat keeps many period touches — bay window and high ceilings — and benefits from double glazing and a gas boiler, making it comfortable day-to-day.
This is an excellent entry-point for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a chain-free purchase with a long lease (circa 113 years), low annual service charge (£283.32) and minimal ground rent (£10). Transport links into central London are convenient via Lewisham BR and DLR, and local amenities, parks and well-regarded schools are all within easy reach.
There is clear scope to add value: the interior is neutrally decorated but dated in places and would reward a sensible programme of modernisation. Note the building’s solid brick walls likely have no cavity insulation, which could mean higher heating costs until improved. The property sits in an area with above-average recorded crime rates; buyers should consider security measures and local research.
Overall this is a practical, well-located one-bedroom with garden and genuine improvement potential, suitable for buyers wanting a manageable project or investors seeking a straightforward rental opportunity.
