This charming three-bedroom maisonette in South Norwood is a practical, well-presented home for first-time buyers seeking space and commuter convenience. The flat offers three sizeable double bedrooms, a bright reception room and a modern fitted kitchen across 752 sq ft — a rare layout at this price point in SE25.

Buyers should be aware of material negatives: the property is leasehold, has a single bathroom, and sits in an area with high crime rates and high deprivation indicators. Broadband speeds are reported as slow. The building dates from 1930–1949 with solid brick walls and assumed lack of cavity insulation, so buyers may want to factor possible insulation and energy-efficiency improvements into budgets.
Overall this maisonette offers honest value for those prioritising location, space and commuting ease. It suits first-time buyers or small-household purchasers willing to accept a leasehold tenure and to undertake modest upgrading to improve comfort and running costs.
