Set on the first floor of a converted Victorian terrace, this one-bedroom apartment offers a practical, well-lit layout across about 444 sq ft. The open-plan living/kitchen gives a contemporary feel with wooden flooring and a bright single-window aspect, suitable for a first home or rental let. Chain-free and with 117 years remaining on the lease, it’s ready for a straightforward purchase.
Location is a strong selling point: New Cross and Queen’s Road Peckham stations are within easy walking distance, and Goldsmiths University and Telegraph Hill are nearby. Local amenities include shops, cafes, parks and a wide range of services, making day-to-day life convenient. Council tax is very cheap, which helps running costs.
Buyers should note a few practical drawbacks: the area records above-average crime and is classed as deprived, broadband speeds are reported very slow, and there is a service charge and a ground rent of £350 (amounts partially unknown). The building is pre-1900 with solid brick walls and internal insulation; double glazing is present but the install date is unknown. These factors matter for long-term running costs and suitability for some buyers.
For first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into SE14 or investors targeting consistent rental demand, this flat offers a compact, low-maintenance base with immediate access to transport and local culture. An internal inspection will best reveal the apartment’s condition and storage potential.
