Set on a quiet Ladywell street, this ground-floor conversion offers a bright bay-front reception and a private rear garden. The 150-year lease and chain-free sale simplify purchase for first-time buyers or investors seeking a straightforward transaction. At about 53m² (570ft²) the layout is compact but practical, with a separate kitchen-diner and two bedrooms.
The property needs updating throughout, so it will suit someone prepared to refurbish to contemporary standards. Solid brick walls and original period features give good scope to improve thermal performance and unlock character. Heating is gas-fired with a boiler and radiators; glazing is double but install date is unknown.
Practical considerations are clear: this is a leasehold flat with service charge and ground rent to be confirmed, on-street permit parking only, and an area with above-average crime levels. Local transport is a major benefit — Ladywell station is within walking distance with fast links to London Bridge — and nearby green spaces and amenities add everyday convenience.
For buyers prioritising location and long-term value, the property represents a cost-effective entry point into SE13 with refurbishment upside. Investors will find rental potential from proximity to transport, local shops and schools; owner-occupiers can personalise the layout to create a comfortable city home with private outdoor space.
