Summary - 65 GLENVILLE GROVE LONDON SE8 4BJ
1 bed 1 bath Studio
Compact, well-connected apartment ideal for first-time buyers seeking city access.
Separate kitchen rarely found in studios
Chain free sale with long lease (approx. 154 years)
Compact overall size — about 325 sqft
Service charge approximately £1,300 per year
Electric room heaters — no central heating
Very high local crime rate; area classed as very deprived
Moments from Deptford and New Cross stations
Communal garden and double glazing installed
This compact second-floor studio in a small purpose-built block offers a practical London base for a first-time buyer. Its separate kitchen and bright reception/sleeping area make the 325 sqft layout feel more functional than a typical studio. The apartment benefits from double glazing and a modern bathroom, plus a communal garden for outdoor space.
Positioning is a key strength: moments from Deptford and New Cross stations with excellent mobile signal and reasonable broadband for urban living. The property is chain free and comes with a long lease (about 154 years), giving security for mortgage lenders and buyers.
Be clear on the trade-offs. The flat uses electric room heaters rather than central heating, which can mean higher running costs. The local area is classified as very deprived and crime levels are very high; that will influence daily life and rental desirability. Service charge is approximately £1,300 per year and the property is leasehold.
Overall, this is a straightforward, well-located starter home or buy-to-let opportunity for someone prioritising transport links, low entry price and a long lease, while accepting higher local crime, electric heating, and an urban neighbourhood character.
