Light-filled top-floor period conversion apartment ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. Positioned on the third floor, the open-plan living/dining room sits beneath attractive pitched ceilings and large dormer windows that flood the space with natural light. Neutral decoration and ample built-in storage make the layout practical and ready to personalise.
The building is a late-Victorian/Edwardian conversion with a long lease (124 years remaining) and a pleasant communal garden for outdoor space. Sydenham Station, the local high street and Crystal Palace Park are within easy reach, making this a convenient base for commuting, leisure and amenities.
Practical points to note: the apartment is compact at around 474 sq ft and best suited to a single occupant or couple. The compact kitchen has low ceilings and shows signs of wear, so some updating would improve functionality and value. Broadband speeds are reported slow and the building fabric suggests limited insulation — upgrading heating and insulation could be worthwhile.
Overall this is a well-presented, characterful one-bedroom flat with strong location appeal and clear potential for modest investment through targeted improvements. Buyers should be comfortable with a top-floor layout and a compact footprint.
