A chain-free two-bedroom period conversion on London Road offering ready-to-live-in accommodation and clear scope to add value. At around 547 sq ft the layout is traditional with a living room large enough to dine, fitted kitchen, bathroom, storage and a private outdoor space — a useful rarity for flats in this area. The property is offered leasehold with 103 years remaining, making it suitable for first-time buyers wanting an affordable London foothold.
Practical features include double glazing, electric storage heating and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal — handy for home working and streaming. Service charge and ground rent are modest at £300 and £100 respectively. The flat sits on the border of SW16 with easy access to Norbury and Thornton Heath stations and a wide range of local amenities, shops and eateries.
Buyers should note some material points: the building dates from the 1930s–40s with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, and heating is electric storage rather than gas central heating. The local area scores high for crime and is classified as deprived, which may affect resale prospects. Overall size is compact, so buyers seeking generous room sizes or long-term family space should consider this when viewing.
For a first-time buyer or investor seeking an affordable London entry point with decent transport links and modest holding costs, this flat is worth viewing. It provides immediate occupancy and straightforward improvement potential to personalise and increase future value.
