This freshly renovated one-bedroom top-floor apartment on Versailles Road offers ready-to-move-in accommodation with contemporary finishes and a long lease. The flat benefits from a new kitchen and bathroom, replacement double glazing, and fresh carpets throughout, making it a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or couple wanting minimal immediate work.
Positioned on a popular, quiet residential road close to Anerley rail station and Crystal Palace Park, the home scores for transport and local amenities. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support working-from-home lifestyles, while nearby schools and the Triangle at Crystal Palace add practical convenience and leisure options.
Practical details help set expectations: the property is top-floor and therefore accessed via stairs, the building is a Victorian conversion with solid brick walls (likely lacking modern insulation), and the wider area shows signs of deprivation. Ongoing costs are modest—service charge £263.18pa, ground rent £150pa, council tax band B—while the lease has 120 years remaining and the EPC is C.
Overall, this compact apartment suits someone seeking a well-presented, low-hassle starter home in a well-connected part of SE20. Investors should note the location and long lease, but also consider local area indicators and the building’s period construction when planning longer-term maintenance or insulation upgrades.
