This spacious one-bedroom flat on Lee High Road is offered as a 50% shared ownership opportunity, ideal for first-time buyers seeking an affordable step onto the property ladder. The principal living area is bright and open-plan, with good natural light flowing through to the kitchen and a generous hallway that creates a sense of space not often found in one-bed homes.
The double bedroom and family bathroom (with bath and shower) sit off the 22ft hallway, giving privacy and a clear, linear layout. Built in the early 2000s, the building benefits from modern construction details and double glazing; heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators. There is communal garden access for outdoor space and a service charge that is below average for the area.
Practical points: the flat is leasehold with 106 years remaining and is available to buy at a 50% share (example full market value £275,000; 50% share £137,500). Monthly rent and service charge apply; council tax banding is described as affordable. Transport links are close by (Lewisham station a short bus ride or 12-minute walk), and local amenities, shops and schools are all within easy reach.
A frank note for buyers: the immediate area records higher than average crime and sits within a deprived neighbourhood classification. That impacts longer-term resale or rental prospects and should be balanced against the low entry price, good transport links and communal feel reported by residents.
