Set on South Norwood Hill, this two-bedroom purpose-built flat offers a practical, well-located base for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The flat sits in a mid-century brick block with maintained communal grounds and trees that provide a pleasant outlook. Internally the layout is straightforward: a generous reception room, two comfortable bedrooms and a single bathroom. A private garage is included — a strong local benefit for parking or storage.
The property is clean and functional but plainly finished. The kitchen and some fixtures date from the 1980s and would benefit from modernization to raise comfort and long-term value. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow, which may matter for home working; mobile signal is excellent. Service charge and communal maintenance costs are not specified and should be checked by buyers, although the exterior appears structurally sound.
With a long lease (998 years) and low local crime, this flat is straightforward to finance and manage. Its proximity to Crystal Palace Triangle, Norwood Lakes and several good schools supports steady rental demand and day-to-day convenience. Buyers wanting immediate move-in could accept the present condition; those seeking capital growth should budget for cosmetic updating and modernising the kitchen and finishes.
Overall this is a practical, well-sited flat offering sensible space and a rare private garage in South Norwood. It suits a buyer looking for an affordable entry into a well-connected part of South London or an investor targeting reliable lettings, provided they allow for some refurbishment and check running costs.
