Set over a split-level first-floor conversion in a handsome Victorian semi, this one-bedroom flat offers a compact, well-presented home for a first-time buyer or couple. The open-plan lounge/kitchen and large windows create a light-filled living space that feels larger than the 472 sq ft suggests. Share of freehold and an exceptionally long lease (959 years) reduce long-term ownership costs and complexity.
Practical benefits include gas central heating, an included fitted wardrobe in the double bedroom, a fitted cupboard for a washing machine, and a private garden. Monthly service charge of £90 (circa £1,080pa) covers building insurance and ground rent. EPC rating C and affordable Council Tax Band C help keep running costs moderate.
Honest points to note: the building dates from the 1930–49 period and has solid-brick walls with no confirmed internal wall insulation, so heating efficiency may be lower than newer builds. The flat is compact at 472 sq ft and is a conversion with internal stairs, so it’s best suited to singles or couples rather than those needing large family space.
Location is a key strength — walking distance to West Dulwich station and the shops, bars and restaurants of the area. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and several well-regarded schools nearby add everyday convenience and resale appeal. No onward chain makes for a straightforward purchase timetable.
