Ground-floor two-bedroom flat with private garden
Light-filled and practical, this two-bedroom ground-floor flat sits in a gated modern development completed in 2017. The open-plan living/kitchen opens onto a private garden, and the property includes a gated off-street parking space — useful for families or buyers wanting easy access and outside space without stairs.
Both bedrooms are good-sized doubles and the flat benefits from two bathrooms and underfloor heating from a mains gas boiler. Local schools with good Ofsted ratings and nearby West Norwood rail station make the location especially convenient for commuting parents. Share of freehold and a long lease (991 years) reduce typical leasehold concerns.
Be aware of a relatively high annual service charge (around £1,100) and very slow broadband speeds noted locally, which may affect home-working or streaming. The wider area shows signs of deprivation and average crime levels — buyers valuing strong community amenities and nearby schools should weigh these factors alongside the property’s positives.
This property suits families or first-time buyers seeking modern, low-maintenance living with outdoor space and parking. It also presents a clear rental or resale appeal given the development’s age, layout and proximity to transport links.
