Bright, compact one-bedroom apartment in the Fairacres/Lemare Lodge development, suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance central Bromley location. Positioned on an upper floor with lift access, the flat benefits from double-glazed windows, mains gas central heating, and views over well-kept communal gardens and a landscaped pond. Excellent local transport (about 18 minutes to Victoria from Bromley South) and fast broadband make it practical for commuting or letting.
The apartment is small at around 389 sq ft and laid out in a traditional plan with a separate kitchen and living room. Building amenities include a door-entry phone, communal lifts, and landscaped grounds that add appeal for tenants or a comfortable home. Local services, leisure and a range of schools are close by, and the area records low crime and high affluence.
Important practical facts: the property is leasehold with a reported lease length discrepancy (information shows both 87 and 98 years remaining), an average service charge of about £2,000 pa and a ground rent of £120 pa. These running costs and the limited internal space are the main considerations for buyers. The block was constructed in the late 1960s–1970s and shows mid-century concrete character; the communal building style and potential future maintenance of communal structures should be factored in.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-upkeep proposition for a buyer seeking an affordable Bromley address near good transport links and amenities. Investors will appreciate the location and tenant demand; first-time buyers will value manageable upkeep and proximity to town centre facilities.
