This well-presented ground-floor one-bedroom flat sits within a Victorian terrace on Kent House Road, offering period character alongside modern fittings. The compact layout is efficient: a front reception, double bedroom, kitchen corridor and a private rear garden ideal for outdoor dining or light gardening.
The property will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a manageable London home with outdoor space. Highlights include a bright bedroom, double glazing, mains gas central heating and fast broadband — practical comforts for everyday living. Share of freehold offers longer-term security compared with many leasehold flats.
Buyers should note the modest overall footprint (approximately 418 sq ft) and a remaining lease term around 90 years, which may affect mortgage options and future costs. The building’s solid brick walls likely lack insulation, and the Energy Performance Rating is D, so buyers expecting modern thermal performance may want to budget for improvements.
The flat occupies a convenient Sydenham location with good local schools, transport links and amenities nearby. However, the immediate area records above-average crime and is relatively deprived; prospective buyers should view the neighbourhood at different times and weigh local factors alongside the property’s positives.
