1 bedroom Flat for sale,

Billington Road, London, SE14

The area has a friendly, bohemian atmosphere, shaped by the strong sense of community and the creative influence of Goldsmiths. Locally, you’ll find a great selection of independent cafés (such as The Corner New Cross) and pubs (including The New Cross House). You are only a short walk from other popular spots (Brockley Market, Telegraph Hill Farmers Market, Deptford Market Yard) and that’s even before you venture into London itself. There are a variety of local independent shops and bakeries a short walk or bus ride away and you have easy access to the larger supermarkets (Sainsburys, Aldi, Lidl) and other retailers.

If you enjoy the outdoors - whether walking, running or cycling - you’re close to several parks, signposted walking routes and cycling paths. You might take a walk up Telegraph Hill for great views of the city, enjoy a stroll around Greenwich Park, or follow the Thames Path from Rotherhithe into central London. From Billington Road, it all feels wonderfully accessible.

So, that’s a little about the area — but what about the property itself? When I bought it, describing it as “tired, lacking character features, and a featureless, neglected garden” would have been an understatement. (The estate agent may still have old photos, or you may be able to find some online.) Today, however, the apartment has been fully renovated. It features a newly fitted kitchen with new flooring and a lovely granite worktop, a modern bathroom with a rain shower, bespoke made-to-measure bedroom wardrobes, new column radiators throughout and updated plumbing, upgraded electrics to accommodate a large range cooker, dishwasher, washing machine, and a large fridge. Architectural details such as coving, floorboards and internal doors were restored, exposed or replaced.

Last, but not least, there is a lovely, sheltered south facing garden which has been re-planted and is maturing – a big change from when I moved in when there was not a single plant in the garden."

A fantastic opportunity for a First Time Buyer, viewing is highly recommended.
