Lee, or Lee Green as it's more formally known, is a relatively quiet suburb of South East London and is home to a few well regarded Gastropubs & restaurants, green open spaces and provides access by train to London Bridge in as little as 13 minutes. The larger towns of Lewisham, Blackheath & Bromley also border the SE12 postcode.

The property would make a fantastic home for a first time buyer looking to get a foot on the ladder in the capital at a reasonable price, without having to deal with a long commute to work every day. The property is also offered with no onward chain.

We asked the owner of the property about her experience of living in and owning the property and she had the following to say:

Having never lived in Lee before I didn't know much about the area but was attracted to it because of the quick commute into London and short bus ride to Blackheath for its amazing restaurants and cafes.

I viewed a quite a few places in the area and then found my place in Syon Lodge and it ticked every box - low maintenance flat, well looked after building & communal gardens, off street parking and all in a beautiful tree lined road, 10 min walk to station. Bingo!

I've had the flat for 12 years now and can honestly say that it has lived up to everything I initially bought it for. It's been so easy to look after and when I married and had children and needed a bigger place I was lucky enough to keep hold if it and rent it out so easily. It's proven to be a great investment and I'd buy it all over again! Sad to let it go, had many great years living in this flat.
