Summary - MELVILLE COURT FLAT 49 CROFT STREET LONDON SE8 5DR
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free studio with parking near Surrey Quays — ideal for first-time buyers..
Allocated off-street parking space included
A compact studio apartment in a gated development, offered chain free and ready for a first-time buyer or investor. The flat measures approximately 329 sq ft with an open-plan living space, separate kitchen and bathroom, plus an allocated off-street parking space — a rare convenience in SE8.
Practical running costs are clear: EPC grade C, electric room heaters (no communal gas heating), service charge around £1,700 pa and ground rent £200 pa. The lease has about 84 years remaining; this will require attention and likely renewal action sooner rather than later. The property is small and best suited to a single occupant or couple comfortable with studio living.
Location strengths include proximity to Surrey Quays/Deptford amenities, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Local schools include several rated Good, and transport and local shops are within easy reach. Note the area records above-average crime and higher deprivation indices — important to consider for families or those prioritising immediate neighbourhood calm.
This is a straightforward, no-chain purchase that offers immediate occupancy or rental potential. Buyers should budget for future lease extension costs and consider modest upgrades: the electric heating and general finishes suggest scope to modernise and add value.
