Long lease, outside space and excellent transport — ideal for first-time buyers.
One double bedroom and living room with large windows and hardwood floors
A bright one-bedroom apartment on Mantle Road offering 539 sq ft of easily configured living in SE4. The flat includes a double bedroom, a living room with large windows and hardwood floors, and private outside space — practical for first-time buyers seeking move-in-ready space in Zone 2 Brockley. The long lease (111 years remaining), low service charge (£875 pa) and chain-free sale are clear ownership advantages.
Transport and local life are strong selling points: Brockley Overground (Windrush Line) places the area within Zone 2 and there are frequent nearby services to central London. The neighbourhood is inner-city cosmopolitan with plentiful cafés, shops and highly rated local schools, making this a sensible choice for buyers wanting convenience and community.
Be straightforward about limitations: the building dates from 1930–1949 and external walls are solid brick with no confirmed insulation, which can affect thermal performance. The property has an EPC rating C and mains-gas heating via a boiler and radiators. Broadband speeds are very slow locally — important for home workers — and the modest ground rent (£250 pa) and council tax Band B should be factored into running costs.
Overall this is a practical, well-located apartment with long lease security and straightforward running costs. It will particularly suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors who prioritise location and transport links and are comfortable with period construction and basic retrofit or personalization works.
