Newly refurbished 2-bed maisonette with garden and garage, close to Lower Sydenham station.
Private entrance and first-floor maisonette layout
A bright, newly refurbished two-bedroom maisonette on the first floor with its own private entrance and a delightful rear garden. The large reception room and separate kitchen (recently updated and with a built-in dishwasher) give comfortable living space across 503 sq ft, ideal for a first-time buyer or small family seeking a move-in-ready home. The property includes a garage for parking and is a short walk from Lower Sydenham station and local shops, including Lidl.
The building dates from the mid-20th century and has double glazing (install date unknown) and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The solid brick walls are as-built and likely lack modern cavity insulation, which could mean higher heating costs until upgraded. The flat is leasehold with 167 years remaining, providing long lease security for buyers.
Practical positives are balanced by local context: the area is classified as very deprived, and crime levels are average. The overall property size is small at 503 sq ft, so storage and entertaining space are limited compared with larger family homes. Buyers looking for further energy efficiency improvements or cosmetic changes will find scope to add value, but major structural work is not indicated.
Nearby schools include several rated Good and one Outstanding secondary, making the location suitable for families with school-age children. Transport links and local amenities are strong, with bus routes, shops, and leisure facilities within easy reach.
