Chain-free one-bed with period charm and excellent transport links..
Chain-free with long lease (approx. 165 years)
This bright one-bedroom apartment in Blenheim House sits on Clock House Parade, placing shops, cafés and transport links on your doorstep. The reception room benefits from high ceilings and a character fireplace, while the double bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe. Triple glazing, gas central heating and an intercom add comfort and security.
The property is offered chain-free with a long lease (approx. 165 years), nominal ground rent and an EPC rating of C. Excellent transport links from Clock House and Kent House stations and the nearby Tramlink make commutes to Central London, East Croydon and Wimbledon straightforward — an attractive point for first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors.
Practical details are clear: the apartment totals about 462 sq ft, council tax is affordable and broadband and mobile signals are strong. Service charges average £2,400 per year, so factor ongoing costs into your budget. The building is a circa 1900–1929 solid brick mid-terrace with period character — some retrofit insulation may be needed in the future.
A realistic view: the property sits in an affluent, commuter-friendly area with good local schools, but there is a medium flood risk to note for insurance and mitigation. Overall this is a convenient, characterful home that suits a first-time buyer seeking easy rail links or an investor looking for a well-located one-bed in Beckenham.
