Light-filled, well-presented one-bedroom apartment on the second floor, offering open-plan living and partial skyline views. At about 530 sq ft the layout is practical for a first home or a buy-to-let, with a generous bedroom, modern bathroom and handy hall storage. The building sits beside Westcombe Woodlands and overlooks communal gardens, bringing green space close to central connections.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space, a long lease (c.980 years) and an installed water softener. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed (install date unknown). Maze Hill station and local bus routes are within walking distance, making commutes straightforward.
Be aware of ongoing costs: an annual service charge around £3,400 and a small ground rent of £200. Broadband speeds are average and local crime levels are above average — factors to weigh for either owner-occupiers or investors. The block was built in the 1920s and converted to flats in the 2000s, so some communal areas and finishes reflect a mix of period character and later refurbishment.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking easy access to green spaces and reliable transport, or an investor after a well-located one-bed with parking. Viewings will show the bright, contemporary interior and the practical value of the long lease and outside space, alongside the running costs and local context to consider.
