First-floor flat with garden and station access — ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
- Two double bedrooms
Bright first-floor flat offering two double bedrooms, an 18' lounge, balcony and a private garden — a rare combination for an inner-London leasehold. The 63 sqm (678 sq ft) layout provides sensible storage and living space, with a long lease that suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Positioned equidistant between Sydenham and Forest Hill stations, the property is convenient for independent shops on Kirkdale, Wells Park and nearby green spaces including Sydenham Hill Wood and Cox's Walk. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the flat suitable for remote or hybrid working.
The block is a mid-20th-century purpose-built brick building with communal access and external balconies. Internal finish appears in average condition for its age and the flat will benefit from updating to unlock full value — a good opportunity for hands-on buyers or investors wanting to add modern fixtures and reconfigure space.
Buyers should note practical negatives: the building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, and the area records above-average crime levels — factors to consider for insurance, running costs and refurbishment planning. Council tax is affordable and there is no identified flooding risk.
