This one-bedroom top-floor period conversion offers characterful living in a quiet Anerley road, ready to occupy with no onward chain. High ceilings and original sash windows create an airy feel, while recent improvements include a modern kitchen with a breakfast bar and added fitted storage to maximise space.
Practical features make day-to-day life straightforward: mains gas central heating, double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The apartment sits close to Crystal Palace, Anerley and Penge rail links and local shops, making it easy to commute or access green space at Crystal Palace Park.
Buyers should note the short lease (around 59 years) — this materially affects mortgageability and may mean some lenders refuse to lend. The building is solid brick with assumed no wall insulation and sits in a high-crime and very deprived area, which could influence insurance, resale and running costs despite a reasonable EPC C rating.
This property suits a cash buyer or an investor comfortable handling lease-extension costs and other maintenance or upgrade work. Service charge and council tax costs are relatively low, and the apartment’s layout and character provide clear potential for cosmetic improvement to increase appeal or rental value.
