A spacious ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offering 909 sq ft of living space and a private rear garden with a decked area — ideal for commuters and young families seeking more room without stairs. The property combines period character in the bay-fronted principal bedroom and living room (coving, ceiling rose, high ceilings) with a contemporary kitchen/diner extension featuring integrated appliances, skylights and sliding doors to the garden.
Recently refurbished throughout, the home is ready to move into and benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and a share of freehold. Local amenities are strong: Beckenham High Street, green spaces such as Beckenham Spa and Recreation Ground, and excellent rail and tram links to central London are all within easy reach. Several highly rated primary and secondary schools are nearby, making this convenient for families.
Important practical points: the lease has 74 years remaining — this is short for a flat and may lead mortgage lenders to refuse lending or require a larger deposit. There is a medium flooding risk in the area, and local crime levels are reported as high. Broadband speeds are listed as slow. These factors should be considered alongside the property’s size, condition and location when assessing suitability and financing options.
Overall, this ground-floor flat offers a rare combination of generous internal space, private outdoor area and strong transport links. It will suit buyers who prioritise space and location and who can manage or mitigate lease, lending and local risk issues, or cash buyers and investors able to work around lease extension requirements.
