2 Bedroom Flat, Blagdon Road, Lewisham, SE13

This newly refurbished first-floor period conversion is offered to the market chain free (so it’s possible to complete it before the stamp duty deadline!) and comes with a coveted share of freehold.

Offering generous square footage and an attractive semi-open-plan kitchen living space, this flat ticks many boxes! It is brilliantly located near the buzz of Lewisham and multiple transport links, but it is also quiet and peaceful. It is tucked away on a quiet residential street lined with pretty Victorian buildings but is near Catford and Catford Bridge Stations, as well as University Hospital, and many open green spaces, including Lewisham Park, Mountfield Park, and Ladywell Fields.

The flat boasts fantastic square footage (almost 1000ft2), and this space is brilliantly distributed across the flat with well-proportioned rooms. The living space here is a standout feature, as it has a semi-open plan layout to the kitchen, which is certainly the most desirable layout and helps when reselling!

The kitchen is arranged in a horseshoe configuration, creating this wonderfully social space with a large breakfast bar. Here, you can entertain your guests and be in the kitchen simultaneously; it really is the best hosting layout; whether you’re having a house party or a more refined dinner party, this is the best set-up!

The large swathes of pretty wooden worktops provide plentiful space to prep multi-course meals, and, of course, the breakfast bar makes for a great space to have breakfasts and casual weekday meals. All the appliances you would expect are integrated, and there are masses of storage cupboards and drawers above and below the worktops.

The principal bedroom is at the front of the flat. It’s a generously sized room with a pretty bay window (double-glazed, of course) and has plentiful integrated wardrobe space. Adjacent to this is the second bedroom, which is also a really well-sized double bedroom; it is worth mentioning that it is often difficult to find two-bedroom flats with both bedrooms this well-proportioned.  

The bathroom is beautifully finished; there’s a full-size bath and a separate walk-in shower, the walls are partially tiled in large luxurious tiles, and the floor is fully tiled to match, quite usefully there is an additional toilet next to the bathroom, which is great when multiple people are getting ready in the morning!

Tenure-wise, the flat has a share of freehold and an accompanying lease of 999 years. As both flats in this building are for sale simultaneously, the new owners of both flats can determine between them if they want to set a service charge or run things on a more ad-hoc basis. Considering the whole building has been fully refurbished, and there’s a new roof, etc, it’s highly unlikely any significant costs will arise in the near future, so dealing with anything ad-hoc may make more sense. Of course, being a share of freehold, there will be no ground rent to pay.

Location-wise, the flat is very well connected for transport and is close to the buzzy High St in Lewisham, but it is on a quiet residential street in a popular and desirable enclave of Lewisham west of the high street. Catford & Catford Bridge Stations are 0.7mi away, or 15 mins walk according to Google Maps, from here you can connect to Charing Cross & Blackfriars. Ladywell Station is one stop closer to London Bridge and is only half a mile away from the flat, which is a ten min walk according to Google Maps.
