Bright top-floor Georgian apartment with long lease and quick commute to London Bridge.
Top-floor one-bedroom flat, approx. 465 sq.ft
A bright one-bedroom top-floor apartment set within a Grade II listed Georgian building on New Cross Road. The 465 sq.ft layout includes a generous reception, separate kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom — an easy-to-manage home or rental unit in a well-connected part of SE14. Share of freehold and a very long lease (approx. 958 years) reduce typical leasehold risks, and the property is offered chain free for a quick sale.
The location is a major selling point: almost equidistant between New Cross Gate and Queens Road Peckham stations with services to London Bridge in under 10 minutes, and handy local amenities and good schools nearby. Period features such as high ceilings and arched windows give character and curb appeal that attract both first-time buyers and renters seeking authentic Georgian details.
Buyers should be aware this is a Grade II listed building — any alterations will need listed-building consent, which can limit changes and add cost and delay. The building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation and may need thermal upgrades; services and appliances have not been tested. The area records above-average crime and sits in a deprived ward, factors to consider for resale or rental yield planning.
Overall this is a compact, characterful one-bedroom with clear commuter appeal and long-lease security. It suits a first-time buyer wanting a central London base or an investor seeking a straightforward buy-to-let, provided they accept listed-building constraints and potential refurbishment for efficiency or modernisation.
