Set on the eighth floor of a contemporary development in central Lewisham, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom flat suits professionals or first-time buyers seeking low-maintenance city living. The open-plan kitchen/reception opens onto a private balcony, extending the living space and capturing city views. An allocated off-street parking bay and communal roof terrace add convenience and outdoor options uncommon at this price point.
The property comes with a long lease (around 114 years remaining) and modern construction (2012 onward), so major structural works are unlikely in the short term. Double glazing, electric boiler and radiator heating, and good broadband and mobile coverage support modern living and home working. The building also offers 24-hour concierge and communal communal spaces that enhance security and resident convenience.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the area has above-average crime and a high long-term flood risk, which may affect insurance and personal security considerations. Annual service charges are approximately £3,500 and ground rent is listed at around £550 per year; these running costs are significant and should be factored into affordability. The property is leasehold, so confirm all lease and charge details with your solicitor.
Overall, this apartment offers a practical, well-located base for city professionals or investors seeking a modern two-bed near strong transport links. It presents immediate move-in potential with scope to personalise the interior, but expect ongoing charges and local area considerations to influence long-term costs and suitability.
