Set within a late‑Victorian mid‑terrace in SE21, this two‑bedroom first‑floor flat offers a bright reception room, an eat‑in kitchen and a private rear garden — a rare find for this price band. The building’s period features, including sash windows and a fireplace, give character while the neutral decor provides a blank canvas for simple updating. At about 630 sq ft, the layout suits a couple, small family or first‑time buyer seeking room to grow close to parks, good schools and reliable transport links.
Practical running costs are modest: a long lease (166 years remaining), low annual service charge (£500) and no ground rent quoted. The property is connected to mains gas central heating and utilities, and the area benefits from low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. On‑street parking and nearby West Norwood and West Dulwich stations (both within about 0.7 miles) make commuting straightforward.
There are clear opportunities to add value: reconfiguring or modernising the kitchen and bathroom, improving insulation in solid brick walls, and landscaping the private garden, which currently needs some TLC. Note this is a first‑floor flat with no lift and on‑street parking only — factors to consider if mobility or parking is a priority.
Overall this is a practical, well‑located period flat that balances character with sensible ownership costs. It will particularly appeal to first‑time buyers or buy‑to‑let investors looking for a manageable footprint, outdoor space and scope to personalise.
