Chain-free, third-floor one-bedroom apartment in Grove Place offers bright, open-plan living and a private balcony. The 808 sq ft overall space feels generous for a one-bed layout, with contemporary fixtures and integrated kitchen appliances that suit a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor.
Practical positives include long lease (990 years), garage parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus convenient links to Eltham and Mottingham stations and local amenities. Council tax is low, and the well-presented communal exterior reflects relatively recent construction.
Notable considerations: the property is leasehold with an average annual service charge of £2,840 and heated via a community heating scheme (no individual boiler). The neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime, which prospective buyers should factor into insurance and security planning. Overall this is a modern, well-located flat with clear appeal but some ongoing running costs and local safety trade-offs.
