2 bed flat for sale

Lower Road, Surrey Quays SE8

A stunning period conversion with private south-west facing rear garden, located only a moments’ walk from Surrey Quays Station. This share of freehold, split-level home has a wonderful open-plan living area and mixes modern design with period features perfectly. Planning permission previously granted for rear extension. Chain free.

The lower-level flows from the welcoming entrance hall into the bright sociable living space complete with a fully-equipped stylish kitchen, where there is plenty of space to relax, dine and cook. Double doors lead to the large low-maintenance garden. Upstairs there are the two bedrooms either side of the fantastic, tiled shower room.

It has modern conveniences such as a gas central heating, full double glazing and clever storage both under the stairs and above the bathroom, while there is also a period correct fireplace and hallway tiling. The contemporary touches include the chic radiators, superb wooden floor design, downlighters and the quirky plywood balustrades between the staircases. Additional benefits are its own entrance, separate utility area, a dishwasher and gas hob.

Planning permission was granted in January 2022 for the construction of a two-storey extension to the rear. This would create additional living space and study (which could also possibly be a third bedroom), as well as increasing the size of the rear bedroom upstairs, while retaining a useful size garden.

For transport you are spoilt for choice, with Surrey Quays station being the closest and reachable in under five minutes, Canada Water for Jubilee line services is only slightly further, while there are plenty of bus routes passing nearby too.

There is lots to explore in the immediate surroundings, with Greenland dock, the marina and Deptford Park being perfect running routes. There are also several gyms, an array of shops, supermarkets, well-regarded restaurants and other useful amenities in the local vicinity.

The property is benefitting from the significant investment in the area, including the underway £5.6 billion, 53-acre Canada Water Masterplan, with London’s first new high street in over a century.

Leasehold, with a share of the freehold. There is no set service charge (building costs shared with property above). There is no ground rent and the lease has 88 years remaining (the current owner is starting the process to extend and there is no premium to pay). Southwark Council Tax Band: B.
