Characterful two-bedroom flat for renovation — chain free with strong transport links.
Top-floor two-bedroom apartment with high ceilings and arched sash windows
Set on the top (second) floor of a handsome Victorian terrace, this two-bedroom apartment offers bright, characterful living space with three arched sash windows in the reception and high ceilings throughout. At about 702 sq ft the flat feels generous for an apartment of this age, and its split-level layout gives clear bedroom and living zones. Chain free sale and proximity to Sydenham Overground and Penge East make it convenient for commuters.
The flat requires renovation and cosmetic uplift — the kitchen and bathroom are dated and some internal work is needed to modernise heating and finishes. That condition presents a chance to add value and configure the space to your taste, whether you’re a first-time buyer aiming to create a long-term home or an investor targeting capital improvement.
Important lease information: the current lease shows 60 years remaining, which can cause mortgage lenders to refuse lending. The seller’s paperwork also states a new 999-year lease will be granted on completion; buyers and their advisers should obtain written confirmation and check mortgage eligibility before committing. EPC is E and council tax band C.
Local amenities are strong: leafy parks (Crystal Palace, Mayow Park), cafes, sports facilities and well-rated schools are close by. Broadband and mobile signal are reported fast and excellent respectively, and the area is an established, inner-city cosmopolitan pocket popular with tech workers and young families.
