Summary - 29 POLTHORNE GROVE LONDON SE18 7DU
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Newly refurbished one‑bed flat with excellent transport links — ideal first‑time buy or investment.
Prime location — 5‑minute walk to Crossrail, DLR and Overground
Set on the first floor of a mid‑20th century block in SE18, this newly refurbished one‑bed flat combines immediate move‑in condition with outstanding transport links. Woolwich Crossrail/Elizabeth Line, Woolwich DLR and Plumstead Overground are all about a five‑minute walk away, making commutes to central London straightforward. The interior benefits from new mains and lighting circuits with certificates, freshly plastered walls and contemporary fixtures.
The apartment features a large bedroom with bespoke wardrobes, a modern shaker‑style kitchen with induction hob and integrated oven, a stylish bathroom and a south‑facing balcony overlooking treed communal space. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal add practical appeal for working from home or letting. Leasehold details are transparent: approximately 90 years remaining, service charge about £2,400 per year (£200/month) and ground rent £10 per year.
This property suits a first‑time buyer or buy‑to‑let investor seeking a low‑maintenance, well‑located flat with immediate rental or occupancy potential. Be aware the building sits in an area classed as deprived with higher recorded crime levels than average; buyers should factor local context into their decision. The communal block is mid‑century brutalist in character, which provides robust construction but limited communal aesthetics compared with newer developments.
Overall, the flat offers strong transport value and turnkey condition at an entry‑price point, balanced by a relatively short lease compared with new‑build standards and notable service charges. Viewing will best reveal the size, aspect and communal environment for buyers prioritising location and convenience.
