Summary - SOUTHEND HOUSE, 141 FLAT 6 FOOTSCRAY ROAD LONDON SE9 2TA
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Characterful retirement apartment within a cared-for, convenient complex.
Top-floor one-bedroom apartment with high ceilings and original sash windows
A generously proportioned one-bedroom apartment on the top (third) floor of an elegant listed Georgian building within a well-managed over-55s complex. The apartment benefits from high ceilings, original sash windows (with secondary glazing), and bright rooms that suit comfortable, low-maintenance retirement living.
The development provides communal features that support easy living: an on-site scheme manager, residents' lounge, well-tended communal gardens and residents' parking. Public transport is immediately accessible with bus stops outside and New Eltham station about 0.8 miles away. The property is offered chain free.
Practical costs and constraints are clear: a substantial annual service charge covers maintenance, the ground rent is nominal and the lease is effectively long (999 years from 1986). The building is listed, which preserves character but will restrict alterations and may complicate some works. Broadband speeds are reported slow, and there are no allocated parking bays, only communal spaces.
This apartment will suit someone seeking a characterful, low-effort home in a respected retirement setting. It offers scope to personalise internally within the limits of listed status, while benefiting from communal support and nearby transport links.
