Summary - PALACE COURT, 17 FLAT 2 WYTHFIELD ROAD LONDON SE9 5TG
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact low-maintenance home ideal for over-60s wanting local convenience.
Chain-free ground-floor retirement flat, step-free access
A ground-floor, one-bedroom retirement flat offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation. The bungalow-style layout gives easy, step-free access and a compact open-plan living/dining/kitchen ideal for a single occupant or couple seeking low-maintenance accommodation.
Practical benefits include a sizable kitchen/diner, double-glazed windows, communal garden and residents’ off-street parking directly adjacent. The property sits close to Eltham high street amenities and transport links, making daily errands and local leisure straightforward.
Buyers should note material constraints: the lease has about 68 years remaining — some mortgage lenders may refuse applications and lease extension costs will be significant. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the cavity walls likely lack insulation, so running costs may be higher than modern gas-heated homes. The local area records higher crime levels than average, so buyers should consider security measures.
Overall this is a compact, well-presented retirement home that offers convenience and low upkeep in a purpose-built setting. It will suit an over-60s purchaser prioritising accessibility and proximity to shops, but buyers must factor in lease length, potential mortgage availability and ongoing energy costs.
