This ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette offers a manageable, characterful footprint with a private garden and easy rail links to Central London. The bay-front reception brings in light, while a modern eat-in kitchen opens directly onto the outdoor space — convenient for morning coffee or small-scale gardening. The owner has kept the flat well maintained, and the sleek metro-tiled bathroom and double glazing feel contemporary.
Practical buyers will appreciate the chain-free sale and the 90-year lease. There is an average-sized footprint (about 525 sq ft) and a straightforward layout: reception, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Local amenities, good primary and secondary schools nearby, and fast connections from Selhurst and Thornton Heath stations suit a commuter or first-time buyer looking for an affordable entry into this part of south London.
Be aware of material points to consider: the listing text states gas central heating, but the technical summary records electric room heaters as the main heating and electricity as the primary fuel — this discrepancy should be clarified before exchange. The building dates from the 1950s–1960s and has solid brick walls with no confirmed insulation; double glazing is present but the installation date is unknown. The area is marked as deprived with above-average local crime statistics, which may affect insurance and resale perceptions.
Ongoing costs and practicalities: the average service charge is approximately £1,600. The 90-year lease is adequate for now, but buyers should factor in lease length when budgeting and when planning future mortgage or sale options. Overall, this is a bright, well-presented one-bed with garden access and commuter convenience—good for someone seeking an affordable first purchase or a rental investment after confirming heating and lease details.
