Goodwood Road, New Cross

£450,000

Be just the second owner of this oversized one bedroom modern apartment (578 square feet), which is found on the fifth floor of an attractive development (delivered by hgp architects/Crest Nicholson, 2019). There are great London skyline views from your private balcony. Long leasehold.

Bond House (so called after the previous 1970’s commercial building which stood here first) hosts 89 units in all. The development has a secure shared bike store, and a central communal lawned courtyard space at ground level.

Walk four minutes to New Cross Gate Station, or 10 to New Cross Station (both with regular and Windrush line services). Bus routes are great from the top of the street, too.

Take the lift or stairs (if so inclined!) to the fifth floor, where you’ll find your own front door. Open into your hall and there is a big built-in cupboard ahead (fab for coats etc.), and next door, a clever study space with fitted desk. Your bathroom is opposite: a modern internal one, with contemporary sanitary ware, an over-bath shower, recessed lights, and smart grey gloss tiles.

Adjacent is your double bedroom, of over 14 feet by over 11 feet, with a feature papered wall, a large window, big built-in closets (to the near wall) and a pale carpet.

The main event awaits! Your open-plan reception/kitchen/dining room. Your fitted kitchen is a slick modern affair with units in two hues, and integrated appliances (included in the sale). French doors open from the lounge area to your private balcony.

This is such a well-connected location, and there is loads to do within a short walk of the flat. Of the weekend, check out Goldsmiths CCA and Brockley Market (Saturdays 10am-2pm). Or stroll/cycle to Deptford’s market and high street, or even Greenwich with its UNESCO attractions.

In SE14 itself, popular spots are The Rose, The Rosemary, The Old Library, Corner and Cup.PhoBun. A big Sainsbury’s is next to NXG Station.

For green space, Fordham Park is your closest. NX's Telegraph Hill Conservation Area has a pair of parks with views and tennis courts. Within a short cycle, we like Southwark Park, Burgess Park and Hilly Fields (all with popular Saturday park runs). Nunhead Cemetery is recommended as well: one of ‘The Magnificent Seven’.
