A bright, chain-free one-bedroom flat in Apple Yard offering modern open-plan living and a private balcony. The apartment’s contemporary kitchen and laminate/wood flooring create a low-maintenance, move-in-ready feel for first-time buyers or investors seeking rental appeal.
Practical details are strong: a long lease (about 222 years), average-sized 540 sq ft layout and communal gardens backing onto Crystal Palace Park. The location is excellent for public transport — Anerley station is within walking distance — and local amenities in Crystal Palace and Penge are nearby.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with an annual ground rent of £372 and community heating rather than individual gas central heating. The immediate area is classified as deprived, and the building sits in an inner-city, cosmopolitan neighbourhood with average crime levels.
Overall this flat suits a first-time buyer wanting a low-hassle, well-located home or an investor after a central-South London rental. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal add to everyday convenience, while the communal garden and nearby parks provide outdoor space.
