Light-filled top-floor conversion in a handsome detached Victorian building, perfect for commuters and young families seeking character with modern comforts. The reception room is generous, with high ceilings, decorative coving and an updated bay sash that frames elevated neighbourhood views. The principal bedroom includes built-in storage; a versatile second bedroom suits guests, a home office or nursery. An additional small attic room offers characterful space but has low ceilings and sloped walls.
The kitchen is well appointed with a Belfast sink, attractive cabinetry and exposed beams; the bathroom has contemporary white sanitary ware. Residents enjoy a share of freehold, a very long lease (982 years) and access to a well-maintained communal rear garden — practical benefits that support long-term value. Broadband and mobile signals are strong and travel connections include Crystal Palace, Norwood Junction and Thornton Heath stations.
Be aware of some practical considerations: the building is solid-brick (no known wall insulation), the property sits on the top/raised floor with entrance steps so may not suit those needing step-free access, and the annual average service charge is around £1,800. The apartment’s period features are strong, but buyers wanting full modern thermal performance or step-free access should expect potential upgrade work.
