This large two‑bed split‑level flat combines generous period proportions with practical modern finishes. Set within a Victorian semi‑detached building, the accommodation spans roughly 947 sq ft and includes an 18ft reception with original wood flooring, high ceilings and a feature fireplace — spaces that feel bright and spacious for daily living and entertaining.
The layout places a newly decorated master suite on the lower ground floor with walk‑in wardrobe, ensuite shower and direct garden access, while the upper level houses a second double bedroom, fitted kitchen/diner and family bathroom. The property is offered with a share of freehold, an exceptionally long lease term and no onward chain, simplifying purchase for a first‑time buyer or couple.
Location is a key draw: quiet Harold Road sits between Upper Norwood and Westow Park and is a short walk to the Crystal Palace Triangle’s cafés, pubs and transport links. Local schools include several well‑rated primaries and good secondary options, making the area attractive for long‑term plans.
Important considerations: the building dates from before 1900 and the external walls are solid brick (assumed uninsulated), so further insulation or energy upgrades may be needed. Glazing type isn’t defined, and the multi‑storey layout may not suit those with mobility issues. The neighbourhood has average crime levels and sits in a deprived area classification, though the immediate street is described as respectful and community minded.
