This chain-free, two-bedroom purpose-built apartment occupies 779 sq ft in a secure mid‑century development close to West Norwood amenities and transport. The bright reception room and private balcony offer immediate, low‑maintenance living with good digital connectivity and easy access to local parks and schools.
The flat will suit first-time buyers or sharers seeking space and convenience rather than a turnkey finish. Internal decor is dated (1970s-style wallpaper and carpets) and the property would benefit from cosmetic updating and modern kitchen or bathroom fittings to realise full value.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with 83 years remaining and a ground rent currently recorded at £10 (buyers should budget for possible leasepack and legal fees). The building dates from 1930–1949 and has solid brick walls with no known cavity insulation, so consider energy-efficiency improvements when planning works.
Overall, this apartment presents a straightforward, affordable entry into SE27 with clear potential to add value through refurbishment. The quiet cul‑de‑sac setting, communal security, and proximity to schools and transport make it an attractive proposition for those wanting space close to central London.
