Chain-free one-bedroom flat with period features and communal garden
Long lease (approx. 124 years) and low ground rent (£100)
Compact footprint — approx. 334 sq ft; limited storage and space
Garage parking available on site
Solid brick construction likely without cavity insulation
Above-average local crime; area classified as deprived
Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and good transport links
Requires potential energy-efficiency improvements and modernisation
A compact one-bedroom apartment in a handsome Victorian building, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation. The apartment retains period features — sash window, working fireplace, picture rails and wooden shutters — creating a bright, characterful living space overlooking a large communal garden. Its open-plan living room and kitchen maximise light and flow, making the most of a modest 334 sq ft footprint.
Practical details suit first-time buyers: a long lease (approx. 124 years remaining), low ground rent (£100), mains gas central heating and double glazing. There is garage parking on site and excellent mobile and fast broadband connectivity. Local amenities include cafés, bars and direct trains from Norwood Junction and Selhurst to central London.
Be realistic about the property’s scale and context. The flat is small, so storage and entertaining space are limited; the overall area is relatively deprived and local crime is above average. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so energy efficiency and heating costs may be considerations.
For buyers wanting character close to transport links, this is a low-entry opportunity in SE25 with scope to personalise and improve energy performance. The property is suited to someone prioritising period charm, a communal garden and proximity to London links over generous internal space.
