Set across the top two floors, this two-double-bedroom maisonette offers an airy reception and separate kitchen in a purpose-built 1960s end-terrace block. The layout gives clear living and sleeping zones, making it practical for first-time buyers or couples wanting extra space. The apartment is sold chain free and benefits from a long lease (about 123 years) and a private garage plus on-street parking.
Practical running costs are favourable: mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing fitted post-2002, low ground rent (around £32–£40) and an affordable Council Tax band (Greenwich Band C). Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working or streaming without issue. There is no flood risk attached to the property.
The building dates from the 1950–66 period and has cavity walls assumed without insulation, so there is potential to improve energy efficiency. The property layout and medium-sized rooms offer sensible scope for cosmetic updating to add value and personalise the space. Crime levels and area deprivation are average for the district, while local schools include several highly rated options nearby.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property; service charge information is recorded as N/A and ground rent is small. The end-terrace block and mid-century construction mean some elements may reflect the era and could benefit from modernisation, which is reflected in the price band.
