Summary - Dowanhill Road, Catford, London, SE6 SE6 1SX
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Ideal starter home for commuters near stations parks and local schools.
Chain free ground-floor period conversion with private south-facing garden
This ground-floor period conversion offers a compact, characterful home ideal for a first-time buyer seeking straightforward travel into central London. The open-plan kitchen/reception provides a bright living space, and large bay windows and high ceilings echo the building’s Victorian origins while double glazing helps with warmth and noise.
Outside, a private south-facing garden is a rare asset for a flat at this price — a sunny spot for plants, a barbecue, or a small family to play. Catford’s good transport links mean stations and town amenities are within easy reach, and nearby parks and well-rated primary schools suit young families and commuters.
Practical points are clear: the property is small (about 441 sq ft) and leasehold with approximately 116 years remaining. Annual service charges average £2,400 and ground rent is £50 per year; these running costs should be factored into affordability checks. There’s no off-street parking — only on-street spaces — and the building’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, which could mean further energy improvements are desirable.
Overall, this chain-free flat blends period charm and outdoor space with commuter convenience. It’s best suited to buyers who prioritise location, a private garden and refurbishment potential over large internal floor area.
