Summary - Flat 7, Grange Court, 12 Sydenham Hill SE26 6SL
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Characterful studio with garden and parking — ideal first home or London base.
High ceilings and large arched windows create an airy studio space
Set on the leafy slopes of Sydenham Hill, this studio occupies a handsome Victorian building and makes efficient use of 391 sq ft. High ceilings and large arched windows amplify the space, while a separate kitchen and well-proportioned studio area give more flexibility than a typical one-room flat. The large communal garden and private off-street parking are standout extras for central-urban living.
Practical running costs are clear: mains gas central heating served by a boiler and radiators, an EPC rating of D, and an average service charge of £2,400 pa. The flat is leasehold with 174 years remaining, so long-term ownership is straightforward. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, and local schools and transport links suit commuters and young professionals.
Notable negatives are honest and material: the property is small (391 sq ft) and the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so further insulation or energy improvements may be needed to lower bills. The EPC D reflects that. The service charge is relatively high for a compact home, and the flat’s inner-city location sits within an area of higher deprivation and average local crime — factors to weigh for buyers prioritising social environment and long-term resale.
This studio will suit a first-time buyer or buyer seeking a convenient London base who values character, outdoor space, and parking over large internal floor area. It offers immediate use as a comfortable home with clear scope for targeted energy upgrades or cosmetic modernisation to increase appeal and efficiency.
