Where £460k sits
SE4 averaged £625k in 2024, skewed by the larger freehold houses. Flats have averaged ~£570k over three years, so this flat sits at the lower end — consistent with a smaller upper-floor conversion. A neighbouring house fetched £517.5k in 2023.
Great coffee nearby, though one resident review raised subjective safety concerns — set against crime data that rates the area low. Paraphrased · resident review 6.6/10, via Crystal Roof
Parking
No controlled zone on the street yet — free on-street, but under active Lewisham review. A resident permit would run ~£120/yr if one is introduced.
