The compact kitchen and bathroom are practical and well presented for a property of this size.
Practical ownership is straightforward: share of freehold with a very long lease (circa 998 years) and mains gas central heating. Bromley South station, local shops and cafes are all within walking distance, and Norman Park is nearby for outdoor space — a strong commuter base for first-time buyers working in central London.
Buyers should note some maintenance and condition issues. The bedroom shows signs of mould and general wear that will need attention. The building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated as built, so buyers may wish to budget for insulation or heating improvements for long-term running costs. Service charge runs around £1,200 per year.
Overall, this compact period flat offers character, excellent location and long-lease security — an appealing move-in-ready option for a first-time buyer prepared to address minor maintenance to personalise the home.
