Chain-free two-bed with period character near Crystal Palace Park.
First-floor flat with large bay-fronted living room
Set on Crystal Palace Park Road, this first-floor Victorian flat offers spacious rooms and classic period detail across an average-sized 792 sq ft layout. The bay-fronted living room and two double bedrooms give a comfortable, flexible plan for a small family, couple or buy-to-let investor. Its close proximity to Crystal Palace Park, local amenities and good transport links is a strong location advantage.
The property is chain free with a long lease (c. 966 years) and would reward sympathetic modernisation — replacing finishes, updating the kitchen and bathroom and improving insulation will release significant value. Current heating is mains-gas boiler with radiators and windows are double glazed (install date unknown). Walls are original solid brick with no confirmed insulation, so buyers should allow for potential retrofit work.
Practical points: the flat needs renovation and the services/appliances have not been tested, so a survey is recommended. Additional costs such as leasehold packs or service charges may apply. Broadband speeds are average, mobile signal is excellent and council tax is described as affordable.
This is a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer seeking space and period character close to green space, or for an investor looking for a renovation project in a well-connected, popular area. The clear downside is the immediate need for modernisation and potential costs to improve energy performance and fittings.
