Tidy one-bedroom ground-floor flat on a quiet close, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation. The apartment has an efficient open-plan living/kitchen, a modern bathroom and a private balcony that opens onto communal garden space — useful for outdoor time in a compact city home. Off-street parking and excellent local transport (Rotherhithe 0.1 mi, Canada Water 0.3 mi) add everyday convenience for commuters.
Practical running costs are mixed: council tax band A and a low ground rent of £10 are positives, but the annual service charge is c. £1,600 and heating is by electric room heaters (no communal gas). The lease has about 90 years remaining — adequate for purchase but important to review for mortgage eligibility and future-proofing.
The flat’s small footprint (approx. 32 sq m / 345 sq ft including balcony) suits a single occupant, couple, or buy-to-let investor seeking a low-maintenance central London unit. Accommodation appears well presented with double glazing and modern finishes, though limited internal storage and compact bedroom dimensions mean the flat is best for those prioritising location and low upkeep over spacious rooms.
Buyers should note the building dates from the 1950s–60s and the area is classified as deprived despite a highly qualified local workforce; check long-term maintenance records and service-charge history. Overall, this is a practical entry-level or rental proposition in a strong south-east London location, close to parks, riverside walks and transport links.
