Description

Maguire Baylis is pleased to present this spacious one-bedroom second-floor apartment, located within a popular purpose-built development on a highly sought-after residential road. Just a few minutes' walk from Shortlands Village and the mainline station, this property occupies a pleasant rear-facing position and offers well-proportioned accommodation filled with natural light. While the flat requires updating and modernisation throughout, it presents an excellent opportunity for a new owner to refurbish and create a home tailored to their specifications. The accommodation includes an entrance hall with useful storage, an impressively spacious reception room measuring approximately 19'11 x 11'3 with a large picture window to the rear, a separate kitchen, a generous double bedroom with a fitted wardrobe, and a bathroom. Additional benefits include a private garage situated at the rear, along with a long lease and share in the freehold. Recent improvements to the exterior, such as new roofing for the garages and garden landscaping, enhance the appeal of this property. The location is particularly convenient, with Shortlands station and local shops just yards away, providing regular services into central London. Both Bromley and Beckenham town centres are also within easy reach, offering an extensive range of shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities. This apartment is an ideal purchase for first-time buyers, commuters, or investors looking for a well-proportioned property with considerable scope for improvement in a highly convenient location.

Confidence: MEDIUM

This spacious one-bedroom flat presents a fantastic opportunity for a buyer looking to invest in a property that offers significant scope for improvement. With an asking price of £225,000, it stands at £395 per square foot, which is remarkably below the local average of £532 per square foot, making it an attractive entry point into the market. The flat is located just a short walk from Shortlands Village and the mainline station, providing excellent transport links and convenience.

While the interior is dated and requires modernisation throughout, this offers a blank canvas for new owners to truly make it their own. The generous living areas benefit from ample natural light, and the property also features a private garage and well-kept communal gardens. The potential to refurbish the kitchen and bathroom to contemporary standards adds further value to this opportunity. Overall, this is a solid investment for first-time buyers or those looking to add value through renovation.
