This compact one-bedroom period conversion on Penge High Street offers move-in-ready living in a sought-after SE20 location. At 398 sq ft with a contemporary fitted kitchen and stylish bathroom, the flat suits a first-time buyer or couple wanting a low-maintenance urban base close to transport and local shops.
The property is leasehold with a healthy 117 years remaining and is sold chain-free, simplifying purchase. It sits a short walk from Penge East and Penge West stations and Crystal Palace Park, making commutes and weekend leisure straightforward. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, supporting remote work or streaming.
Buyers should note the service charge and ground rent: approximately £2,300 p/a service charge and £350 p/a ground rent, which contribute to running costs and communal upkeep. The flat is modest in size, so it’s best suited to single occupants or couples rather than those needing generous storage or multiple bedrooms.
The building blends period character with contemporary finishes, and the interior is presented in good condition so little immediate investment appears necessary. However, the wider area scores as relatively deprived and local crime is average; prospective buyers should consider local amenities and community factors alongside the property’s clear transport and leisure advantages.
