This one-bedroom purpose-built flat on Shurland Avenue offers a compact, well-located starter home or buy-to-let with long-term security. The 189-year lease and no ground rent reduce ongoing ownership costs, while off-street parking and communal gardens are uncommon extras for a property of this size.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: a medium reception room, fitted kitchen with space for appliances, double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a bathroom with shower-over-bath. The building dates from the late 1970s, has double glazing (installed before 2002) and gas central heating via boiler and radiators—functional but showing its age in places like the carpets and some fittings.
Key selling points include the accessible location near Oakleigh Park station, local parks and several well-rated schools, making it suitable for first-time buyers or investors seeking a straightforward, lettable unit. Note the very slow broadband speeds and above-average local crime rate—factors that may affect some buyers’ priorities.
Practical costs are clear: a service charge around £1,080 and affordable council tax, with no ground rent. The flat is small (c. 366 sq ft) and will benefit from cosmetic updating; buyers looking for a turn-key home should expect to refurbish flooring and some fixtures. Overall this is a low-entry property with sensible running costs and potential to add value through modernisation.
