A well-proportioned two double bedroom ground floor apartment in a sought-after purpose-built block, offering a smart layout, a sociable lounge/diner, and the rare bonus of a Juliet balcony.

Located on a popular residential street in the heart of SE20, this ground floor flat at Roberts Court needs renovation.

Accessed via a secure communal entrance, the flat opens into a welcoming hallway with storage.
