This compact two-bedroom conversion on Saunders Road offers chain-free purchase and a private rear garden, ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a straightforward London entry. The flat is bright with a 14ft reception, modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a three-piece shower room. Double glazing and mains gas heating (boiler with underfloor heating) are in place, helping comfort and running costs.
At roughly 530 sq ft the accommodation is small and efficiently arranged: a larger master bedroom (approx. 13 x 10ft) and a much smaller second bedroom (approx. 10 x 6ft). The private rear garden (around 50ft) is a standout for this type of property and provides outside space rarely found at this price. The location is practical — close to Plumstead High Street, local buses and Plumstead mainline station.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with about 108 years remaining on the lease. Annual costs include ground rent (£250) and service charge (c. £1,032/£86 pcm). Crime in the immediate area is above average and the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, which could affect long-term energy efficiency despite an EPC rating of D. Overall this is a sensible, affordable central-location purchase with garden space — good for those wanting a turnkey starter home or a rental opportunity, while accepting size and tenure considerations.
