This well-presented one-bedroom apartment occupies the second floor of a period conversion on Crescent Wood Road, offering a compact but bright living space ideal for first-time buyers, professionals or buy-to-let investors. The home combines period character — high ceilings and large sash-style windows — with contemporary finishes including a modern kitchen and recently refurbished bathroom. The open-plan living area (c.17'10") maximises natural light and feels larger than the footprint suggests.
Practical basics are in place: double glazing, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for remote working. The location is a major selling point — leafy Upper Sydenham with easy access to parks, independent shops and strong rail links into central London, making daily commutes straightforward.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with a small ground rent (£200) and an overall modest size (c.438 sq ft). The building dates from the 1900–1929 era with solid brick walls and assumed lack of cavity insulation, so heating costs and thermal performance may be higher than modern builds. The apartment is on the second floor of a mid-terrace conversion; there is likely no lift and access will involve stairs.
Overall, the property offers immediate move-in condition and good rental or owner-occupier potential in a sought-after neighbourhood. It suits someone seeking a low-maintenance central base with strong transport and local amenities, while being comfortable with the realities of older construction and leasehold ownership.
