Summary - BYRON HOUSE FLAT 34 PORCHESTER MEAD BECKENHAM BR3 1TW
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Low-price, long-lease studio near Beckenham transport and parks.
Share of freehold; 999-year lease recorded from 2017
A compact studio with an exceptionally long lease and share of freehold, positioned close to Beckenham’s shops, parks and rail connections. The flat is small but practical, offering a single open living space and a separate bathroom — a straightforward canvas for someone willing to modernise. Its location suits first-time buyers seeking low entry cost or investors targeting rental demand near good transport links.
Practical strengths include a garage en bloc, secure gated development and fast broadband/mobile signal. Monthly service charges are significant for the size, but council tax is very low and ground rent is peppercorn. Heating is electric storage radiators and the building has double glazing; the walls are cavity construction with assumed no insulation, so energy performance is not high.
The property needs renovation: flooring, decoration and likely upgrade of kitchen/bathroom and heating will be required to modern standards. Crime in the immediate area is above average and the locality is classed as deprived; buyers should factor this into safety and rental assumptions. Overall, this is a low-price entry opportunity with clear renovation and operating costs to consider.
