This bright, newly renovated one-bedroom flat on Sylvan Road offers an accessible entry into Crystal Palace living. The reception room opens onto a covered south-facing balcony that brings sunlight and city views into the home, creating a relaxed entertaining space. At about 501 sq ft, the layout is practical and easy to manage for a first-time buyer.
The kitchen has been modernised with ample cabinetry, a pantry and near-new appliances, while the bedroom benefits from fitted storage. The three-piece bathroom is stylish and newly installed. The apartment sits on the second floor of a well-maintained 1970s development and comes with a share of freehold and a long lease of approximately 990 years.
Good transport links via Crystal Palace and Norwood Junction stations, nearby parks, schools with strong Ofsted ratings, and local amenities make this a convenient base. The property is offered chain-free with an included shed option and low local crime, making it suitable for those seeking a straightforward move-in.
Buyers should note some practical points: primary heating is electric warm-air, which can be more expensive than communal gas systems, and the building’s timber-frame construction has only partial insulation (assumed), so buyers may want to check energy performance and running costs. The annual service charge is approximately £3,952, which should be factored into affordability calculations.
