Set over two levels in an attractive Victorian conversion, this 2-bedroom split-level apartment offers period character and practical living space. Large sash windows, high ceilings and original floorboards give the principal reception a bright, airy feel and provide wide views across London from the rear.
At about 681 sq ft, the layout combines a generous open-plan living and dining area with a separate fitted kitchen and a modern shower room. The property is sold with a long lease (approx. 986 years) and a share of freehold, with a below-average service charge of £600 — features that suit first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors alike.
Location is a key strength: it sits close to Gipsy Hill and Crystal Palace stations and a broad range of local amenities, cafés and schools (including highly ranked Rockmount Primary). Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting both commuting and home-working lifestyles.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: the building is solid-brick Victorian with assumed no cavity insulation in the walls, double glazing present but install date unknown, and local crime levels are above average. Council Tax sits in Band C. These are practical considerations for budgeting future running costs and any retrofit work.
Guide price £425,000–£450,000. This apartment will suit buyers seeking period character and location close to transport and amenities, who are prepared to accept typical Victorian maintenance and consider insulation or heritage-sensitive upgrades where desired.
