This one-bedroom flat sits on the upper floor of a well-maintained Victorian conversion, a short walk from Crystal Palace Park and three stations. The accommodation is light and practical: a generous double bedroom, a large reception room with an arched window, separate galley kitchen and a standard three-piece bathroom. An allocated off-street parking space is a rare plus for the area.
The apartment totals about 449 sq ft (41.7 sqm), making it a compact but comfortable home for a single person or couple, or a straightforward buy-to-let. Good ceiling heights in parts and period brickwork add character; windows overlook mature trees and parkland. Transport links are excellent, with Penge West, Penge East and Crystal Palace stations all within a few minutes’ walk, supporting an easy commute to central London.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with c.87 years remaining. Annual service charges and ground rent are material costs: the service charge is around £1,656 pa and ground rent £542 pa. EPC D indicates average energy performance; walls are likely solid brick with little insulation, so heating bills may be higher than modern builds. Crime levels in the immediate area are above average and the wider neighbourhood is classified as deprived, which may affect future resale values.
Overall, the flat offers strong location benefits and period charm at an entry-level price. It will suit first-time buyers wanting a compact central-South London base or investors seeking a lettable one-bed close to parkland and transport. Budget for ongoing leasehold costs, energy improvements and standard refurbishment to personalise the interior.
