This one-bedroom ground-floor flat offers 421 sq ft of comfortable living in a Victorian terrace, presented ready to move into. The long lease (approx. 960 years) and share of freehold provide ownership security, while no onward chain speeds up completion. A generous 17ft living room with a bay window and feature fireplace gives the apartment period character and plenty of natural light.
Practical features include a modern fitted kitchen, a ready-to-use bathroom, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown), and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for commuters and home workers. A small enclosed front garden is an uncommon bonus for a flat and adds private outdoor space.
Space is modest throughout, so this home suits a single occupant, a commuting professional or a buy-to-let investor seeking a straightforward, let-ready property. The location is commuter-friendly with direct services from Norwood Junction to London Bridge, Victoria and Gatwick, and local shops, schools and green spaces are within walking distance.
Be aware the building is an early 20th-century solid-brick terrace with assumed uninsulated walls, and some areas show dated finishes; cosmetic updating (flooring, decoration, kitchen/bathroom refresh) would increase appeal and value. The wider area is classed as deprived, and while crime is average, buyers should factor local market conditions into their plans.
