A bright, ground-floor Victorian conversion with a private low-maintenance garden, newly redecorated throughout and offered chain free. The flat comes with a new 999-year lease, no ground rent and an extremely low annual service charge, making it a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor.
The open-plan kitchen/living room benefits from skylights and modern fittings, while the double bedroom includes built-in wardrobes. Energy Performance is a solid C and the property has double glazing and mains gas central heating. Its location on a quiet, tree-lined street in Nunhead places stations, shops and parks within easy walking distance.
Be realistic about the size: the flat is compact at around 408 sq ft, so storage and living space are limited. The building’s original solid-brick walls are assumed uninsulated, which could mean higher heating bills or scope for insulation improvements. The local area scores high for deprivation metrics, though nearby schools are well-rated and transport links are excellent.
Overall this is a low-hassle, well-presented ground-floor apartment with long-term security from the new lease and very low running costs related to service charge and ground rent. It suits buyers seeking an affordable entry into SE15 or investors looking for a straightforward rental opportunity, provided the compact floorplan fits their needs.
