Contemporary one-bed with long lease near Crystal Palace Park and transport.
Top-floor one-bedroom flat with open-plan kitchen living room
A well-presented top-floor one-bedroom flat in a Victorian period conversion, finished to a contemporary standard and ready to move into. The open-plan kitchen/reception benefits from modern integrated appliances, a new boiler (2024) and pleasant elevated views. The long 997-year lease and share of freehold offer genuine tenure security, with a low service charge.
This home suits a first-time buyer or a city worker seeking good transport links and easy access to Crystal Palace Park and local amenities. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and local schools nearby have good Ofsted ratings. Council tax band B and below-average service charge help keep ongoing costs modest.
Notable negatives are external neglect to the building’s Victorian façade — some maintenance is needed — and the surrounding area scores as deprived, which may concern some buyers. The flat’s size is average (approximately 465 sq ft), so space is compact but well arranged.
Overall this apartment offers secure long-term tenure, contemporary interior finishes and a prime location for transport and green space, balanced by exterior maintenance needs and the neighbourhood’s mixed socioeconomic profile.
