Light-filled ground-floor apartment offering two double bedrooms and a generous 21ft6 x 12ft5 reception with a fully integrated kitchen. The master bedroom includes fitted storage and both bedrooms overlook the communal garden, creating a calm aspect in a busy inner-city setting. Wooden floors and double glazing give a tidy, modern finish throughout.
Practical benefits include secured off-street parking, mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, and a long lease of 102 years. At approximately 649 sq ft, the layout is traditional with a separate reception — suited to first-time buyers seeking space to work from home or buy-to-let investors targeting strong rental demand in Sydenham.
Be aware of the service charge, currently averaging £2,880 per year, and the local area’s above-average crime statistics and measured area deprivation. These are material factors for budgeting and insurance. The block was constructed in the early 2000s, so major structural works are unlikely, but confirm communal maintenance plans and recent accounts before purchase.
Local amenities and transport are strong: handy shops, cafes, supermarkets and good schools nearby, plus fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. This apartment suits buyers after a low-maintenance, well-located home or an investor seeking straightforward tenancy potential in an established London suburb.
