Summary - THE OLD POST OFFICE, 3B APARTMENT 1 EAST STREET BROMLEY BR1 1AB
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Converted Victorian building with high ceilings, private terrace and excellent commuter links.
Approximately 1,100 sq ft with high ceilings and triple-aspect windows
Set within a converted Victorian post office, this two-bedroom apartment offers generous living across about 1,100 sq ft with high ceilings and substantial natural light. The open-plan living/dining/kitchen is a standout — triple aspect windows, bespoke kitchen with integral appliances and solid hardwood floors create an immediate sense of quality and space. A roof terrace is listed as a major benefit for alfresco dining and entertaining; buyers should verify the quoted terrace dimensions as two different measurements appear in the information provided.
Practical strengths include a long lease (approximately 135 years remaining), allocated 70ft basement storage, video entry and proximity to Bromley South and Bromley North stations for fast commuter links into central London. Local amenities are extensive — shops, restaurants and services are all on the doorstep, and several good and outstanding primary and secondary schools are within easy reach.
Notable considerations are factual and important: the property is leasehold with a service charge of £4,116 p.a. (above average) and Council Tax band E (amount to be confirmed). The building dates from the early 20th century and has solid brick walls assumed to lack cavity insulation; potential buyers should allow for heating and insulation checks. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow, while mobile signal is excellent. The immediate area records very high crime levels — buyers should factor this into security and insurance decisions.
Overall this apartment will appeal to commuters seeking roomy, characterful living close to transport and town-centre amenities, and to investors wanting a prominent, well-located apartment. It suits purchasers who value scope for cosmetic updating and who will check building maintenance records, service charge commitments and actual terrace size before committing.
