Set on a desirable residential road in Hither Green, this bright first-floor Victorian conversion offers generous principal rooms and clear period character. The large reception and double bedroom benefit from high ceilings and sash windows, creating an airy feel rare for one-bedroom flats in the area. With 627 sq ft of internal space, the layout works well for a single buyer, couple, or investor seeking strong lettability.
The flat is chain free and well presented but not newly refurbished: the kitchen is compact and there is scope to modernise fittings to suit contemporary tastes. The building is solid brick and likely lacks cavity insulation (as built), so buyers should budget for potential improvements to heating efficiency and secondary glazing if required. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators.
Residents share a communal garden and the property sits close to Hither Green and Lewisham transport links for fast journeys into Central London. Local amenities, good broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern working-from-home needs, while nearby schools and community facilities add practical family appeal.
Notable negatives are factual: the flat is leasehold, the outdoor space is communal rather than private, and local crime levels are above average. These factors, together with the building’s period fabric, mean some buyers will want to factor in maintenance, upgrading and running costs when assessing value.
