Summary - 29B THICKET ROAD, PENGE, LONDON SE20 8DB
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Ideal first home with period charm and scope to personalise.
Chain free one-bedroom garden flat with long 988-year share of freehold lease
This first-time buyer opportunity sits on Thicket Road and offers original Victorian features, high ceilings and a private rear garden. The apartment is chain free with a very long share-of-freehold lease (approx. 988 years), simplifying purchase and future ownership.
Inside, the layout includes a generous double bedroom, a large eat-in kitchen suited to dining and entertaining, and a reception room leading onto the garden. The flat totals about 440 sq ft and provides a comfortable, characterful base with clear scope to modernise and personalise to taste.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, plus nearby schools rated Good to Outstanding. Buyers should note the living room and some interiors show dated fixtures and will need updating; the building is solid-brick with assumed limited insulation. Crime levels in the area are above average and the wider neighbourhood scores as relatively deprived, factors to consider alongside the location benefits.
Guide price: £325,000–£350,000. For buyers seeking period character, outdoor space and a long lease in a move-in-accessible position, this flat offers genuine potential to add value and create a tailored home.
