Set in the desirable Chatterton Village, this ground-floor Victorian maisonette combines period character with contemporary comforts. The bay-windowed double bedroom and bright living/dining room give a feeling of space across an average-sized 467 sq ft layout. A modern fitted kitchen opens to a private rear garden — a rare outside space for this type of property.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (c.972 years) with share of freehold, fast ultrafast broadband, and mains gas central heating. The home is presented in good decorative order and is ready to move into, making it suitable for a first-time buyer or an investor seeking a low-management rental in a friendly neighbourhood.
Buyers should note some material considerations: the mid-terrace building is of solid brick construction with no assumed wall insulation, which can mean higher heating costs compared with insulated homes. The garden and plot are small, limiting outdoor expansion. Local crime levels are above average for the area, which prospective purchasers may wish to investigate further.
Location is a genuine asset: independent shops, cafés, parks, and well-rated schools are close by, with Bickley and Bromley South stations within walking distance for commuter links. Overall, this maisonette offers a compact, characterful home with long-term tenure security and good transport and digital connectivity.
