Heating via electric room heaters; may need upgrade for efficiency
High local crime rate and very deprived area classification
Victorian conversion with dated finishes; requires modernisation potential
Spacious three-bedroom split-level flat in a converted Victorian terrace, arranged over two levels and offering an unusually large reception room and a principal bedroom that feels more like a master suite. Natural light fills the apartment through double-glazed windows, and a private forecourt/drive provides off-street parking — a rare convenience in this area. The long lease (share of freehold) gives security and low running lease costs for buyers.
The layout suits families or sharers: separate living and dining/second reception areas, two further double bedrooms, and flexible circulation across six principal rooms. Local amenities are close by — shops, cafés, parks and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach. Excellent transport links make commuting to Central London straightforward, while fast broadband and strong mobile signal support remote working.
Buyers should note the neighbourhood has a high recorded crime rate and is classified as very deprived, which may affect insurance and perceptions. Heating relies on electric room heaters rather than gas central heating; upgrading the system would improve comfort and running costs. The exterior and some internal elements show dated finishes and will benefit from modernisation to maximise value. There is no substantial private garden — only a small paved forecourt.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful family flat with long lease security and parking, well suited to buyers seeking space near good schools and transport links who are prepared to carry out selective updating.
