Bright, newly finished two-bedroom apartment in the Alto building, designed with contemporary open-plan living and generous natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows. At around 800 sq ft the flat feels spacious while retaining a comfortable, practical layout — ideal for first-time buyers or a small family seeking move-in readiness.
Stand-out features include a southeast-facing balcony with clear views towards the downs, efficient underfloor heating throughout, a modern fitted kitchen with bespoke tiles and a brass filtered-water tap, and gated parking plus secure bike storage. The development also includes lift access and a gated garage, and the long lease (241 years) offers long-term security for owners.
Location benefits are strong: short walks to Crystal Palace Park, South Norwood Lake and the Crystal Palace Triangle, plus nearby stations (Crystal Palace, Gipsy Hill, Norwood Junction) with direct links into central London. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, including Good and Outstanding Ofsted-rated options.
Material considerations are stated plainly: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £2,800 and a ground rent of £450 per year. The immediate area records above-average crime and broader measures indicate local deprivation — factors buyers should weigh when comparing neighbourhoods. Council Tax Band B applies.
Overall, this is a modern, low-maintenance flat with attractive communal amenities and strong transport links, best suited to buyers prioritising contemporary finishes, outdoor views and convenient access to parks and schools, while accepting higher running charges and some local area issues.
