Affordable, newly renovated flat perfect for first-time buyers commuting to central London.
Chain free third-floor apartment, ready to move into
A newly renovated one-bedroom apartment on the third floor, offered chain free and ready to move into. The compact open-plan living and kitchen area makes efficient use of the 368 sq ft, while a double bedroom to the front benefits from period ceiling heights and natural light. The property sits in a Victorian end-of-terrace building close to Woolwich town centre, DLR and the Elizabeth Line — ideal for fast commutes into central London.
Practical costs are straightforward: 120 years remain on the lease, reported service charge is very low (listed as £50 per year), and ground rent is £250 per year. Council tax is Greenwich Band C. Heating is by electric room heaters, and the building has double glazing installed post-2002.
Buyers should note the apartment is small and best suited to a single occupant or couple. The area is classified as deprived with average crime, and mains energy is electric rather than gas, which can affect running costs. The compact layout includes a separate shower room and W.C., and although recently refurbished, the property offers limited internal space for major reconfiguration.
For a first-time buyer seeking an affordable, low-entry London home with fast transport links, this apartment offers immediate access, low ongoing service charges, and a long lease. It’s a practical, budget-conscious purchase for someone prioritising location and move-in readiness over large living space.
