Summary - 37A OLD ROAD, LONDON SE13 5SU
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free two-bed renovation with private garden and loft potential opposite Manor House Gardens.
Share of freehold with 116 years remaining on lease
Set on the first floor of a 1930s purpose-built block, this two-bedroom flat offers a rare combination of share of freehold, private rear garden and clear scope to add value. The apartment is presented as an ideal renovation project for a first-time buyer or small family wanting to personalise a home close to green space and good transport links.
The living room looks over Manor House Gardens, bringing a pleasant outlook and natural light through double-glazed windows. Accommodation includes two bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom, separate w.c., and loft access — the vendor previously secured consent for a loft conversion (now lapsed), so there is evident potential to increase floor area subject to planning.
Practical strengths include a long lease (116 years), chain-free sale, mains gas central heating and fast broadband and mobile signal. The property sits in an affluent, inner-city area popular with tech workers, with strong local schools and frequent rail services from nearby Hither Green and Lewisham stations.
Buyers should note this is a renovation project: the flat needs updating throughout, some roof work and external joinery requires attention, and the building’s solid brick walls likely lack added cavity insulation. The previously approved loft consent has lapsed, so any loft work would require fresh applications.
This is a straightforward opportunity to create a bespoke home with garden space and long-term upside in a well-connected part of SE13.
