SE8 4DZ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Spacious one-bed Victorian flat with long sunny garden — ideal for downsizers seeking character.
South-facing private garden over 60 feet, excellent outdoor privacy
A rare ground-floor Victorian conversion with genuine period charm and a private south-facing garden of over 60 feet — a peaceful, leafy retreat within St John’s Conservation Area. The flat occupies the generous ground floor of a handsome semi-detached house and benefits from share of freehold, no ground rent and a low service charge of £128.15 (buildings insurance). The reception room retains original features: sash bay window, open fireplace and wooden floors.
At around 639 sq ft this oversized one-bedroom layout feels roomy for downsizers or a single person seeking a calm, well-located home. The kitchen/dining room opens directly onto the long sunny garden via French doors, which would suit a garden studio/office or simple entertaining. The bedroom is a good double with built-in storage, and the bathroom is windowed with traditional fittings. Council tax is in band B.
The flat is well placed for transport — St Johns station is a few minutes away with an eight-minute journey to London Bridge. Brockley Market, Greenwich and the food and nightlife of Deptford and New Cross are all close by. Local schools include several rated Good and Outstanding, and there are plentiful local amenities and green spaces.
Notable negatives: the flat has dated decoration and will need redecoration and updating to suit modern tastes; broadband speeds are slow; the wider area is relatively deprived and local crime is average. While the layout offers scope to create a second bedroom or extend the kitchen-living space, any structural changes would require appropriate consents. Overall, this is a characterful, practical home for someone seeking a spacious single-level flat with an exceptional private garden and low running costs.
