Summary - 39, Old Road SE13 5SU
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Ground-floor two-bedroom flat opposite Manor House Gardens — ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Chain free with 105-year lease remaining
Set directly opposite the leafy Manor House Gardens, this ground-floor two-bedroom flat balances period character with practical living. The property has been extended to the rear to create a generous kitchen/diner with bi-fold doors that open onto a private rear garden — a rare find at this price and size. Stable details include double glazing fitted after 2002, mains gas central heating and fast broadband, making it ready for everyday life or immediate let.
Practical advantages include substantial underfloor storage running across the rear (approx 1.5m deep) and a long lease of 105 years, with a very low ground rent of £10 and no service charge specified. The flat is offered chain-free, which simplifies a quick move or rental take-up. Local amenities, good transport links and well-regarded nearby schools (including an Outstanding primary) add to long-term appeal for buyers and investors.
Buyers should note the building is solid brick, typical of its 1900–1929 construction, and may benefit from additional insulation work. The image notes reference traditional Tudor Revival exterior details and potential areas that could need modernisation or damp checks typical of older properties. Council tax is in a lower band, and there is no recorded flood risk.
This property suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a well-located, characterful flat with outside space and conversion potential. It combines immediate liveability with sensible scope for cosmetic updates and energy-efficiency improvements to add value.
