This newly renovated two-bedroom garden flat occupies the lower-ground of a handsome Victorian building moments from Crystal Palace Park. The open-plan 20ft reception with chevron wood flooring and bifold doors leads to a low-maintenance decked garden with a sunny southerly aspect — ideal for entertaining or quiet outdoor space. Both bedrooms are doubles; the principal bedroom includes a fully tiled en-suite with double vanity and rainfall shower.
Practical features include an allocated residents’ parking space, integrated kitchen appliances with breakfast bar, gas central heating and double glazing. The property benefits from a long lease (150 years) and a low annual shared maintenance charge (approx. £85 gardening contribution, plus building insurance circa £240pa), making it straightforward for buyers concerned about future costs.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold lower-ground (basement-style) flat within a solid-brick Victorian building where wall insulation is assumed absent — this may affect heating performance and future improvement costs. The local area scores above-average for crime and shows pockets of deprivation, and broadband speeds are average. These are factual considerations for families or first-time buyers prioritising connectivity and neighbourhood safety.
Well located for Penge East/West, Anerley and Crystal Palace rail links to Victoria, London Bridge and Canada Water, this property suits first-time buyers or couples seeking a modern, move-in-ready home with private outdoor space and secure parking near extensive green space. The short walk to the 200-acre park and nearby schools adds practical day-to-day appeal.
