Chain-free, long-lease maisonette with balcony and garden — renovation opportunity near South Norwood Lake.
Two bedrooms across two split levels, 800 sq ft (74.3 sqm)
Set over two levels, this 800 sq ft maisonette in SE19 offers clear scope for a buyer who wants to add value. The flat includes two bedrooms, a large reception room, separate kitchen and direct access to a private balcony, plus communal garden use. With no onward chain and a very long lease (c.955 years), the legal position is straightforward.
The property requires full modernisation: interiors are dated and refurbishment is needed throughout. The EPC rating is D and while the heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators, buyers should budget for updating kitchens, bathrooms, and cosmetic work. Service charges are above average at £4,100 per year and are a material ongoing cost to consider.
Location is a genuine strength — set moments from South Norwood Lake with good local schools and solid transport links, in an inner-city, cosmopolitan neighbourhood popular with established tech workers. For a first-time buyer or small investor willing to renovate, the flat represents an affordable entry point into Crystal Palace with noticeable upside after improvement.
Practical facts: chain-free sale, average overall size, double glazing present (install date unknown), low local crime, excellent mobile signal and average broadband speeds. Buyers seeking a fully finished home should expect significant works; those planning renovation will find strong potential and long-term security from the extensive lease.
