Chain-free ground-floor one-bedroom with scope to add value.
Chain-free ground-floor flat with private garden
Set on a quiet SE15 street, this chain-free ground-floor flat pairs a private garden with a long 999-year lease — an uncommon combination for a compact city property. The open-plan living and kitchen space benefits from modern fittings, double glazing and natural light, while the bedroom includes built-in storage. Council tax is low and running costs are helped by a below-average service charge.
The building is a Victorian mid-terrace with solid brick walls and original period character. That solidity is attractive, but the walls are assumed uninsulated, so buyers should budget for possible thermal upgrades if improving energy efficiency. The flat’s modest 408 sq ft footprint is best suited to a single occupant or couple, or as a rental investment with simple management needs.
Local amenities, good broadband and excellent mobile signal support urban living; several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby. The wider neighbourhood shows signs of deprivation, so buyers seeking long-term value should factor in potential for improvement and resale timing. There is no flood risk recorded.
Overall this is a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or investor who wants a ready-to-move-in city flat with a garden and a very long lease, while accepting its small size and likely need for insulation or other targeted upgrades.
