Set on a peaceful, tree-lined street on the cusp of Blackheath, this ground-floor one-bedroom garden apartment offers generous rooms and direct access to a well-kept communal garden. High ceilings and large windows fill the bright reception room with light, while the double bedroom opens via French doors onto the garden—an attractive feature for morning coffee or outdoor relaxation.
The apartment is presented with a practical layout: a handy porch entrance, a well-proportioned kitchen with good worktop and storage, and a modern bathroom. At about 608 sq ft, the accommodation feels roomy for a one-bed and suits buyers seeking a comfortable first home with outdoor access and excellent local amenities.
Practical strengths include a very long share-of-freehold lease (c.990 years), low annual service charge (£600), double glazing fitted after 2002, mains gas heating and off-street visitor parking via a communal drive. Transport links and nearby Blackheath Village amenities make commuting and leisure easy.
Buyers should note material local issues: the area records higher-than-average crime and is marked as deprived. The building is a period property (c.1900–1929) with solid brick walls and no assumed cavity insulation, which may affect long-term energy efficiency and running costs. This is a straightforward, well-proportioned garden flat with strong local appeal but some social and maintenance considerations to weigh.
