This bright two-bedroom apartment offers 737 sq ft of flexible living space ideal for first-time buyers seeking room to grow. The layout is well planned with large windows that deliver good natural light, and a modern-feeling kitchen and bedrooms that would respond well to cosmetic updating.
The property requires renovation and finishing works so buyers should allow budget for cosmetic improvements and potential insulation upgrades—solid brick walls indicate limited existing cavity insulation. On the positive side the lease is effectively long‑term (circa 998–999 years), removing common leasehold financing concerns and making this a straightforward purchase structurally.
Location is a strong practical draw: around 0.6 miles to Norwood Junction station with fast links into central London, and close to South Norwood High Street shops, parks and everyday amenities. Local schools include several rated Good and one Outstanding, supporting family prospects.
Be upfront about notable local factors: the area records higher crime and very high deprivation indices, and broadband speeds are average. This home suits first-time buyers who want space to personalise and who prioritise transport links and long lease security, or investors prepared to renovate and let in a well-connected part of London.
