Set within a Victorian terraced house on Raleigh Road, this well-proportioned two-bedroom flat blends period charm with modern finishes. The living space is bright and sociable, with bifold doors opening to a Juliet balcony and Velux roof windows bringing light into the converted attic. The quiet main bedroom at the rear offers generous wardrobe space, while the second bedroom suits a home office or flexible guest room.
Practical benefits include a share of freehold, a very long lease (approx. 993 years) and a recent loft conversion completed with the required insulation to building regulations. Transport links are strong — Penge East, Penge West and Kent House nearby — and residents are minutes from Crystal Palace Park, Alexandra Rec and Beckenham Place Park for regular outdoor activities.
Be upfront about two material drawbacks: the area records higher-than-average crime levels, and the building’s original solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation. The attic space has a lower/sloped ceiling which may feel compact for some. There is one bathroom and the accommodation is arranged over multiple levels, so consider mobility and storage needs.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers or young professionals seeking character, outdoor access and commuter convenience, and it also presents rental potential for investors looking for a roomy two-bed in a well-connected, amenity-rich pocket of SE20. Buyers should factor in potential future works to improve wall insulation and be comfortable with the surrounding area’s crime profile.
