Summary - Blessington Road, Hither Green SE13 5FW
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright two-bedroom over-57s flat with balcony, parking and strong transport links.
Ground-floor, two double bedrooms ideal for downsizers
A well-presented ground-floor retirement apartment designed for over-57s, set in a secure modern development on Blessington Road. The bright open-plan kitchen/living space opens onto a private balcony, and two double bedrooms give flexible accommodation for occasional guests or a sitting room. The block includes gated parking with a garage space and benefits from excellent transport links to Blackheath Village and Lewisham.
This property suits downsizers seeking low-maintenance living close to amenities and good schools. The 120-year lease provides long-term security; the apartment is modern in finish and comfortably sized at c. 878 sq ft. The community heating scheme delivers centralised warmth but may affect running costs and control compared with individual boilers.
Important practical points: the annual service charge is £3,900 and the development is in an area with higher local crime and wider area deprivation—buyers should factor this into security and insurance considerations. There is no private garden and the balcony is modest in size, so outdoor space is limited.
Overall this is a practical, low-upkeep retirement home with strong transport links and parking, suitable for someone prioritising proximity to local shops, Blackheath Village and Lewisham’s facilities, while accepting the trade-offs of service charges and the neighbourhood context.
