Drake Crescent, Thamesmead SE28

Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac within a pleasant crescent, this freshly decorated two-bedroom apartment offers a bright and ready-to-move-in home. Perfect for first-time buyers, the property benefits from a chain-free sale, an allocated parking space, and modern upgrades including 2025-installed electric heaters, hot water cylinder, and bathroom.

The sleeping quarters consist of two well-proportioned double bedrooms; one enjoys plenty of natural light through dual-aspect windows, while the other features a Juliet balcony. A standout feature is the newly installed bathroom, finished with stylish marble-effect tiles and a contemporary suite.
