1 bed flat to rent

Pond Road, London SE3

Tucked away in a secluded garden surrounded by trees and birdsong, this unique open plan first-floor flat offers a calm, relaxing space in the heart of the beautiful Cator Estate. It’s a private retreat that feels far from the bustle, yet only a short walk from Blackheath Village.

The flat is thoughtfully designed and very well equipped, making it ideal for a Single occupant preferred or couple.

Inside, the open plan living area feels light and airy, with views of the garden and plenty of storage throughout. The kitchen has just been refitted and includes everything you need: An undercounter oven with fan, grill and microwave functions, induction hob, dishwasher, fridge, kettle, and extractor fan - all with good task lighting. There’s also a sink, bottle rack, and a practical selection of pans, crockery, cutlery, and table mats. A touch-top waste bin and recycling caddy make everyday living easy and tidy. The shower room is compact but smartly organised, with a walk-in shower, toilet, vanity unit, and mirrored wall cupboard with lighting. You’ll also find a shaver/electric toothbrush point, extractor fan, and heated towel rail. In the entrance lobby there’s a good-sized built-in wardrobe cupboard, and another cupboard with shelving that houses the flat’s alarm control panel. Under the stairs you’ll find a washer dryer, a Miele vacuum cleaner, an ironing board, and a clothes airer - all ready for your use.

Up on the mezzanine sleeping level, the double bed has a lovely view through the Velux window across the gardens and towards St Michael and All Angels Church spire. Shelves and eaves cupboards provide extra storage.

Tenants are welcome to make quiet use of the extensive shared garden, where there’s a large slate table perfect for sitting or dining outdoors among the trees.

Rent includes council tax and water, and the flat has access to secure bike storage in the garage beneath (one bike for a single tenant or two for a couple). Parking is available on Pond Road with a Cator Estate resident permit, which is reasonably priced.

The location is superb-an easy 10-minute walk (or less) to Blackheath Village, with its shops, restaurants, The Halls and The Conservatoire. There’s a good train service from the station and the new SuperLoop bus that goes to Canary Wharf. The open spaces of Blackheath and Greenwich Park are both close by for walks, picnics, and fresh air.

Please note: Access to the flat is via a spiral staircase, so it may not suit those with mobility issues, but you are welcome to view and assess.

This is a rare and special place - a peaceful, well-equipped home with character, set in one of Blackheath’s most desirable spots.

Offered furnished and available immediately, your earliest viewing is highly advised.
