Summary - 55A, BENARES ROAD SE18 1HX
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact versatile flat near Plumstead High Street and excellent transport links.
Chain free first-floor conversion with period features and high ceilings
This well-presented first-floor conversion offers a compact, characterful one-bedroom home with flexible living space ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. Set within a period mid-terrace, the flat retains high ceilings and decorative fireplaces, giving a strong sense of character while feeling bright and comfortable. The reception has been cleverly divided to create an extra bedroom or home office and can be reconfigured back into a generous lounge/diner.
Practical positives include a good-size kitchen/breakfast room, a modern bathroom with separate WC, access to loft storage and potential to extend subject to planning, and a long lease (approx. 140 years). It is chain free and set close to Plumstead High Street for shops and frequent bus links to Plumstead, Abbey Wood (Elizabeth Line/Thameslink) and Woolwich Arsenal (DLR), making commuting straightforward.
Notable considerations are factual: the property has an EPC rating of D and solid-brick walls with no known insulation, which may mean higher heating costs and potential improvement works. There is no private outdoor space, on-street parking only, and the area records above-average crime—factors to weigh for families or those prioritising outside space and quiet streets. Overall condition is tidy and move-in ready, though modest upgrades (insulation, energy improvements) could add value and reduce running costs.
