This spacious 1,005 sq ft two-bedroom, two-bath apartment in Purbeck Gardens offers large rooms, modern finishes and a private balcony. The open-plan living/dining area is bright with large windows and flows to outdoor space, suited to everyday family life or shared professional living. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite and built-in wardrobes; a second double bedroom and a separate bathroom provide practical flexibility for guests or a home office.
Practical running costs and tenure details are important: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £2,200 and ground rent of £400. Heating is provided via a community scheme — convenient but potentially limiting for individual control. Council tax band is currently unknown and should be confirmed before offer.
Location is a clear strength: excellent transport links with Lower Sydenham station nearby offering fast connections into central London, and local shopping and major supermarkets within walking distance. Several well-rated schools are close by, including Harris Girls Academy Bromley (Outstanding), making the area suitable for families and professionals.
Overall this is a roomy, well-lit modern apartment for buyers seeking space and good transport links. It will particularly suit first-time buyers moving up, young families, or investors who value size and location, but buyers should factor leasehold costs and shared heating into their budgeting.
