A bright, well-presented ground-floor flat on St Gothard Road offering direct access to a large private garden — a rare find for this area. The adaptable layout has worked as either one generous bedroom or two smaller rooms, making the home flexible for a first purchase, a professional couple or a buy-to-let.
The accommodation includes a light reception, modern kitchen with integrated appliances and a neat, contemporary bathroom. The property benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and fast broadband — practical features for everyday living and commuting into central London via West Norwood’s rail and frequent bus links.
Buyers should note material facts: the lease has 91 years remaining, there is a modest annual service charge (£917.52) and a low ground rent (£10). The building is solid-brick with assumed no cavity insulation, which may affect heating costs and could present retrofit potential for improvement. EPC rating is D.
Overall this is a straightforward, chain-free purchase with a private garden and strong transport connections. It suits first-time buyers seeking outdoor space and flexibility, or investors wanting a lettable flat in an established renting-families area — but factor in lease length and potential retrofit costs when assessing long-term value.
