About This Property

This terraced flat is located in LONDON, SE20 7QW. The property offers 50m² (538 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home.

The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation.
