One-bedroom ground-floor flat with rare private garden and quick commute.
South-facing private garden with patio and mature lawn
This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offers a practical urban home with a private south-facing garden and share of freehold ownership. The bedroom benefits from a large sash bay and high ceilings, while the 20' rear-facing open-plan lounge leads onto an initial patio and a mature lawned garden — rare for a flat in this part of Brockley.
Period features include tall ceilings and stripped, polished floors that add character and natural light. Practical details: double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas boiler and radiators, and a below-average service charge of £780. Brockley Overground station is less than 200m away, with many nearby independent cafés, bars and amenities.
Buyers should note a few material points: the building dates from the 1930s with assumed solid brick walls and no fitted insulation, which may affect heating efficiency and future retrofit costs. The local area records higher crime and general deprivation levels, important to consider for families or those prioritising quiet streets.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer or commuter seeking period character, outside space and excellent transport links, while accepting potential investment in insulation or energy improvements and being mindful of local crime statistics.
