Ideal starter home close to stations, shops and Deptford amenities.
Bright reception with double windows and natural light
A compact one-bedroom first-floor apartment offering a practical London base close to New Cross and Deptford transport links. The flat has a bright reception room with double windows, a separate kitchen, newly fitted bathroom and an allocated secure parking space in the adjoining courtyard — a rare perk for central locations.
The building dates from the early 20th century and shows period charm, with solid brick walls and double glazing. The property is small (about 411 sq ft) and will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located, low-maintenance home with good commuter access: New Cross Station and Deptford Bridge DLR are within easy walking distance.
There are running costs to note: the lease has around 89 years remaining, annual service charge circa £1,800 and ground rent £150. The area scores highly for amenities and transport but experiences very high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, so buyers should balance the flat’s convenience against local socio-economic factors.
The apartment offers sensible scope for cosmetic updating (kitchen shows mid-20th-century wear) and potential to add value through interior improvements. Council Tax band B and fast broadband/multiple local schools are practical positives for a long-term first home or buy-to-let proposition.
