Open-plan kitchen/reception with private patio

Small flat — limited living and storage space
Exterior and communal areas may need modernization
This ground-floor one-bedroom flat in SE9 offers compact, usable living space and low running costs — a practical entry point to London ownership. The open-plan kitchen/reception maximises the 304 sq ft footprint and opens onto a private patio, bringing outdoor space to a small home. An efficient gas boiler, double glazing and an EPC rating of C help keep bills modest, while council tax band A is very cheap.
The building dates from the 1950s with a Tudor-revival exterior and characterful brickwork; the interior is presented in a contemporary style but the exterior and communal areas could benefit from modernization. The property is leasehold with 125 years remaining and a below-average service charge of approximately £600 per year, making ongoing costs predictable. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
Well suited to first-time buyers looking for an affordable London base or investors seeking a low-maintenance let, the flat sits in a commuter-friendly area with good primary and secondary schools nearby. Note the flat is small, so buyers should be comfortable with compact living and may wish to tidy storage and organisation in the living area. The wider area is classified as deprived and the local neighbourhood as hampered; buyers should weigh location factors alongside purchase price and rental potential.
