Summary - 49 MERCATOR ROAD LONDON SE13 5EN
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free two-bedroom flat with garden and long lease, close to Lewisham transport links.
Chain-free 2-bedroom split-level flat, private garden
Set over split levels, this 2-bedroom flat offers roomy living and straightforward potential in a popular Lewisham location. The property has two generous double bedrooms, a spacious lounge-diner and a front-facing kitchen, plus a private garden — a rare find at this price. With a long lease (approx. 176 years) and chain-free sale, it suits buyers wanting a manageable project close to central London links.
The flat requires renovation throughout, so it will appeal to first-time buyers or investors prepared to refurbish. Structural elements are typical of a late 1970s development: double glazing installed post-2002, cavity walls filled, and a community heating scheme. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low, and the EPC is C.
Location is a major asset: Lewisham town centre, market and an array of shops and restaurants are a short walk away, with Lewisham rail/DLR and other stations within around a mile for quick central London commutes. On-street resident permit parking applies; there is no allocated parking. Be aware the local area records higher-than-average crime rates and the flat sits in a generally deprived ward, factors to consider for families and some investors.
Overall, this is a practical purchase for a buyer who values transport links and outdoor space and is willing to invest time and budget to modernise. The long lease and chain-free status reduce transaction risk; renovation will unlock better rental income or resale value in this well-connected part of SE13.
