Set within a Victorian terrace on Gautrey Road, this well-presented one-bedroom flat offers compact, characterful living just moments from Nunhead and Queens Road Peckham stations. The raised-ground conversion retains period features such as high ceilings and sash-style windows, while the interior shows modern updates — a fitted kitchen, neutral decor and a straightforward layout that works for single occupants or couples.
The property is chain free with a long lease (around 150 years), peppercorn ground rent and no monthly service charge indicated, making it an easy purchase for first-time buyers or a buy-to-let investor seeking minimal running costs. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit home-working or tenancy demand, and local schools and amenities are nearby.
Buyers should note material points: the building is a pre‑1900 solid-brick construction likely lacking wall insulation, so heating efficiency may be lower and energy bills higher despite an EPC band D. The apartment is compact (approx. 677 sq ft total building size listed) and room sizes are small-to-average, so storage and living space are limited. The wider area shows signs of deprivation and average crime levels; prospective purchasers should budget for any minor updating and commission their own surveys and service checks.
Overall, this chain-free leasehold flat is a pragmatic entry into SE15 — offering character, convenient transport links and straightforward ownership costs, while requiring realistic expectations about space, energy efficiency and potential refurbishment to maximise long-term value.
