Summary - Apartment 3, 19, Howard Road SE20 8HQ
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact first-home with private balcony and parking near stations.
Chain free, ready to move into
A bright two-bedroom first-floor conversion offered chain free, ready to move into and ideal for a first-time buyer. The flat sits in a 1930s semi-detached building and benefits from double glazing, an EPC rating of C and a long lease of 115 years.
Living space is compact but well laid out across approximately 590 sq ft, with an open-plan living/dining area, a good-sized kitchen and a private balcony for outdoor space. Off-street allocated parking is included — a notable convenience for a London location — and the property is a short walk from Penge High Street and both Penge East and Penge West stations.
Practical considerations are important: the property is leasehold with an average ground rent of £450, and the exterior walls are original solid brick (assumed uninsulated) which may mean higher heating costs and potential insulation work. The wider neighbourhood shows signs of socio-economic deprivation and crime levels are high, so buyers should weigh local safety and community factors.
On balance this is a compact, well-presented starter home offering transport links, outdoor private space and parking. It suits a buyer seeking an immediately habitable flat with potential to improve energy efficiency over time, or an investor prioritising location and rental demand near transport hubs.
