Light-filled home with long lease and attractive communal gardens.
Two double bedrooms with integrated storage in master
This bright, second-floor two-bedroom apartment sits on the desirable Cator Estate and overlooks well-maintained communal grounds. The dual-aspect living/dining room offers space for dining and relaxing, while two double bedrooms include built-in wardrobes in the principal room. The kitchen is modern with integrated oven and space for appliances; the bathroom is a white three-piece suite with a shower over the bath.
Practical ownership perks include a very long lease (996 years), share of freehold, and chain-free sale. Residents benefit from plentiful off-street parking and attractive communal gardens that provide a peaceful outdoor setting within easy walking distance of Blackheath Village’s shops, cafes and transport links to central London.
Notable running costs and context are presented plainly: the service charge is around £5,000 p.a. (above average) and the building uses a communal gas heating scheme. The property is in a neighbourhood classed as ‘communal retirement’ and the wider area shows higher-than-average crime and relative deprivation — factors to consider for resale or letting.
This well-presented apartment will suit a first-time buyer or downsizer seeking a comfortable, low-maintenance home with long lease security, attractive communal grounds and excellent local amenities. Buyers wanting minimal monthly outgoings or a more central urban feel should weigh the higher service charge and local area statistics carefully.
