Summary - Portland Road, SE25 SE25 4UX
3 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright, well-located starter home near Norwood Junction station.
Three bedrooms in a ground-floor Victorian apartment
A bright three-bedroom ground-floor apartment set in a well-preserved Victorian block, a short walk from Norwood Junction station. High ceilings and large windows create a light, airy feel and the open-plan kitchen/living space makes the flat easy to live in and furnish. The block and communal areas appear well maintained, and service charges are low.
Practical strengths include a long lease (109 years) and low running costs from modest service charges — good for first-time buyers looking for secure tenure. Transport links into London Bridge and Victoria are within easy walking distance, and local shops, cafés and green space are close by.
Be clear about limitations: total internal space is small (581 sq ft) for three bedrooms and there is a single bathroom. The area records higher crime rates and broader measures show local deprivation — buyers should consider safety and resale factors. Windows are single-glazed in parts, which may affect noise and heating efficiency and could be upgraded.
Overall this is a well-located, characterful starter home with scope to personalise. It will suit first-time purchasers seeking a central base with good transport, or investors targeting rental demand, provided they accept the compact layout and local-area considerations.
