Set within a converted Victorian terrace, this split-level two-bedroom flat offers a compact but well-proportioned home with clear commuter appeal. The property includes two double bedrooms, a bright living room and a separate kitchen, arranged over multiple levels to maximise space within its 578 sq ft footprint. Chain free sale and a long 108-year lease provide straightforward purchase terms and security for buyers.
Practical benefits include a share of freehold, private off-street parking for two cars and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The flat has double glazing and tall period ceilings that add character and light. Local transport links give direct access into Central London, while nearby high streets and a range of schools suit first-time buyers and young families.
Buyers should note the property is small overall and solid-brick construction likely has limited wall insulation, which may affect energy efficiency and future heating costs. The immediate area has above-average crime levels and is classified as deprived, so purchasers should consider local conditions and potential refurbishment needs. The flat offers clear renovation potential for those wanting to improve thermal performance and personalise the interior.
This home suits buyers looking for an affordable entry into the area, a rental investment with commuter access, or someone prepared to carry out updating. Practical advantages — share of freehold, parking and a long lease — combine with period character to create good upside for the right buyer.
