Set within a handsome late‑Victorian building in Sydenham, this chain‑free one‑bedroom apartment offers generous proportions, high ceilings and plentiful natural light. The split‑level layout creates a feeling of space across an average 491 sq ft, with a large bay reception room and a double bedroom capable of accommodating a king bed.
Practical benefits include a long lease (985 years), share of freehold tenure, off‑street parking and access to a well‑kept communal garden — useful extras in this popular pocket near Crystal Palace Park and strong transport links. The kitchen and bathroom are described as contemporary and the property is presented as ready to occupy, making it suitable for a first purchase, downsize or buy‑to‑let investment.
Notable costs and physical facts are set out clearly: the annual service charge is £3,226 and the building appears to be solid‑brick construction with no confirmed cavity insulation, so walls may feel cold and further energy upgrades could be beneficial. The local area is mixed and inner‑city cosmopolitan; crime and mobile signal are reported as average, and the wider area shows deprivation indices that some buyers will want to consider.
Overall this flat offers a blend of period character and practical amenities in a well‑connected location. Buyers seeking generous ceiling heights, outdoor communal space and secure parking will find value here, while those prioritising low running costs or fully modern insulated walls should budget for possible upgrades.
