Light, well-presented and ready to occupy, this one-bedroom apartment on Cypress Road offers a straightforward purchase with a long lease and no onward chain. Set on the first floor of a purpose-built block from the late 1990s/early 2000s, the flat benefits from a bright reception room, Juliette balcony and allocated off-street parking — features that suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors looking for an easy-to-manage home.
Practical running costs are clear: a long lease (151 years), council tax band B described as cheap, and a small ground rent. Note the service charge of around £2,760 per year, which covers communal maintenance and buildings insurance; buyers should factor this into annual ownership costs. The property is average-sized at about 478 sq ft and presents contemporary finishes, double glazing and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators.
Location is a key selling point. The apartment sits moments from local green spaces including Norwood Lakes and a short commute to Crystal Palace and Norwood Junction stations (fast services to London Bridge). Nearby schools include several Good and Outstanding-rated primaries and secondaries, and local amenities serve an inner-city cosmopolitan community popular with new EU tech workers.
Overall this is a practical, low-risk purchase for someone seeking a well-kept starter home or a lettable investment close to good transport links. The main trade-offs are the average internal size and the annual service charge; otherwise the long lease and allocated parking deliver secure, long-term ownership potential.
