Summary - 2c Waldegrave Road SE19 2AJ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Share of freehold and extremely long 986-year lease
Light-filled one-bedroom period conversion set on Waldegrave Road, a few minutes’ walk from Crystal Palace station and the Triangle’s shops and cafés. The reception room enjoys a southerly bay with double glazing, high ceilings and contemporary integrated kitchen fittings, creating an immediately comfortable living space for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (986 years), a share of the freehold and no onward chain, plus modern combi-boiler heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The compact layout (approx. 462 sq ft) is well finished with Neff appliances, granite surfaces and quality bathroom fittings, meaning little immediate refurbishment is required to let or move in.
Notable points to consider: the property is an average-sized one-bedroom flat in a Victorian mid-terrace with solid brick walls (original construction, insulation assumed absent) and a service charge of around £2,200 per year. The immediate area is inner-city cosmopolitan but also classified as relatively deprived; crime levels are average. These factors may influence running costs and future investment assumptions despite the attractive central location.
Overall, this apartment offers a low-hassle purchase with strong transport links, good local amenities and long-term ownership security thanks to the lengthy lease and share of freehold. It suits buyers seeking a well-presented starter home or a straightforward rental purchase close to central Crystal Palace.
