Bright reception room with tall ceilings and period features
Large double bedroom, well proportioned
Semi-open kitchen; functional but needs updating
Evidence of damp/mould in kitchen/dining area — requires attention

Long lease (~150 years) and below-average service charge (£444)
Close to Norwood Junction station and local amenities
Set on the first floor of a striking Victorian conversion, this one-bedroom flat offers bright, tall-ceilinged rooms and a well-proportioned double bedroom. The reception room benefits from large windows and period character, creating an airy living space for a single occupant or couple.
The semi-open kitchen is smartly arranged but the property shows signs that some updating would improve comfort and value — the kitchen/dining area has evidence of past damp and mould and would benefit from refurbishment. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the building appears to have solid brick walls with no fitted insulation, which can mean higher running costs in winter.
Practical strengths include a long lease of approximately 150 years, a below-average service charge (£444), and excellent transport links with Norwood Junction station close by. Local amenities, parks and Selhurst Park Stadium are within walking distance, making this a convenient inner-city base.
This flat suits a first-time buyer or investor looking for a well-located period property with refurbishment potential. Buyers should factor in refurbishment costs and potential energy-efficiency improvements when assessing long-term running costs.
