Set on the first floor of a mid‑20th century block on Elm Road, this two‑bedroom flat offers a long lease (over 940 years) and a share of freehold — rare security for purchasers. The apartment benefits from a large balcony, allocated parking plus a garage en bloc, and easy access to Sidcup Station for commuters.
Internally the living space is a sensible, average size with contemporary natural light from a large window. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; the property has double glazing, though installation date is unknown. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and is constructed with cavity walls that appear to have no added insulation (assumed).
Practical costs are straightforward: service charge circa £200 pcm (about £2,400 pa) and Council Tax Band C. The flat is sold with no onward chain, which can speed completion for first‑time buyers or cash purchasers. Local amenities, supermarkets and several well‑rated schools are within easy reach.
Buyers should note material negatives: the area records higher crime levels than average, and the block’s fabric may lack modern insulation — potential buyers might want to factor retrofit costs into plans. The glazing installation date is unknown and any updating work should be budgeted for. Overall this is a well‑located, low‑risk commuter flat with clear scope for personalising and long‑term ownership security.
