Chain-free two-bedroom first-floor flat, ready to move into
Set on the first floor of a modern development in Thamesmead, this chain-free two-bedroom flat is aimed at buyers seeking an affordable step onto the London ladder. The light-filled lounge stretches approximately 20ft and opens to a Juliet balcony, offering space for living and dining. The fitted kitchen and contemporary bathroom keep maintenance low, and double glazing was installed after 2002.
Practical running costs are straightforward: the property is all-electric with room heaters and mains electricity, and the service charge is approximately £1,707.57 per year. The long lease (976 years remaining) removes a common ownership concern, and off-street parking is available for one vehicle with additional non-permit parking elsewhere on the development.
Location is a clear strength for commuters: bus routes serve the area and Abbey Wood station (Elizabeth line) is within easy reach. Local amenities include shops, Tesco, health services and play areas, and several primary and secondary schools rated Good or Outstanding are nearby. Note the area records higher-than-average crime levels; buyers should consider security measures and personal safety when viewing.
This compact 563 sq ft flat suits first-time buyers or those downsizing who prioritise transport links and low initial purchase barriers. It’s presented in move-in condition but remains small in overall footprint and has electric heating rather than gas central heating, which may affect running costs compared with gas-heated homes.
