Compact, well-presented one-bed with loft potential near Kent House station.
Top-floor one-bedroom conversion, move-in ready
A compact top-floor one-bedroom conversion offered with no onward chain, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a ready-to-rent commuter flat. The apartment is well presented throughout, with good natural light, high ceilings in the reception and a modern separate kitchen and bathroom. At about 352 sq ft the accommodation is modest but efficiently laid out and move-in ready.
Practical lease details are straightforward: lease approx. 90 years remaining, service charge about £420 (below average) and ground rent £250. There is a large personal loft space above that could provide extra value subject to planning and party-wall consents — a sensible opportunity for buyers wanting to add space or enhance rental value.
Buyers should note material limitations: the flat is small, on a higher-crime local patch, and in a generally deprived area which may affect resale timing and yield. The building appears well kept, but the property’s walls are original solid brick (likely uninsulated) and the leasehold term is moderate; longer leases would be advisable for future-proofing. Close transport links (Kent House, Penge East/West) and nearby schools make this a practical choice for commuters or investors targeting the rental market.
