Period first-floor flat with bay window — auction sale, good transport links.
First-floor one-bedroom flat, approx. 497 sq ft
Set on the first floor of a 1930s period building, this one-bedroom flat offers attractive Victorian character with a bay-window reception and high ceilings. The open-plan kitchen and well-proportioned double bedroom make efficient use of the 497 sq ft layout, suited to a first-time buyer or an investor seeking rental potential.
The property requires some maintenance and decluttering to restore the living room and decorative details; secondary glazing is fitted but the original solid brick walls are uninsulated. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators. The flat is leasehold and will be sold at auction, which may suit buyers seeking a quicker purchase route.
Location is a key benefit: shops, bars and restaurants are within easy reach, with Catford and Catford Bridge stations nearby and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Local amenities include primary and secondary schools (Good to Outstanding ratings nearby) and community facilities.
Buyers should note material considerations: the area is described as very deprived with very high crime levels, and the building dates from 1930–1949 with likely maintenance needs. These factors affect suitability and insurance/financing options, so viewings and pre-purchase checks are recommended.
