A practical one-bedroom first-floor flat with rare private garden space and excellent transport links. At just 0.3 miles from Abbey Wood station, the flat is well placed for the Elizabeth Line, Thameslink and Southeastern services, making commutes to Central London and Canary Wharf straightforward. The layout is functional: a bright living room, separate kitchen, double bedroom and a bathroom — easy to maintain for a single occupant or couple.
The property is offered chain-free on a 104-year lease with low service charges and a modest ground rent, which will appeal to first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers looking for a straightforward purchase. Fast broadband and strong mobile signal support modern working-from-home needs. The private garden is a standout benefit, larger-than-typical for a flat and useful for relaxation or entertaining.
Buyers should note material factors honestly: the property sits in an area with high recorded crime and local deprivation indicators, and the EPC rating is D, so energy costs and improvement works could be considerations. The building dates from the 1950s–60s and double glazing install dates are unknown — some updating may be required depending on buyer expectations. The tenure is leasehold with 104 years remaining.
Overall this is a sensible, well-connected flat offering immediate occupation and rental potential, combined with a rare garden for the price band. It suits first-time buyers seeking value near strong transport links, downsizers wanting manageable accommodation with outdoor space, or investors targeting steady letting demand.
