This small one-bedroom apartment sits in a mixed-use Victorian terrace close to Norwood Junction transport links, ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking low-entry London property. The interior is recently refreshed with a modern open-plan kitchen, fitted wardrobes in the bedroom and a contemporary shower room — ready to move into or rent out immediately.
Practical details that matter: the flat is leasehold with 116 years remaining, a modest ground rent of £250, and a below-average service charge of £380. Heating is electric via a boiler and radiators; the property is constructed recently (2023) and presents average thermal performance.
Drawbacks are straightforward: the overall footprint is small (398 sq ft) with limited private outdoor space and a low kitchen ceiling in places. The area scores as very deprived with above-average crime — buyers should factor local conditions into their plans. Broadband speeds are average, mobile signal is excellent.
This property suits buyers prioritising location, transport access and low upfront cost over internal space. As a rental, it offers straightforward management potential given nearby amenities and tenant demand from young families and students; owner-occupiers will gain an entry-level London address that can be personalised over time.
