Summary - 86c Newlands Park SE26 5NB
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Private garden, long lease and excellent links to Sydenham and Penge stations.
Long share of freehold with c.959 years remaining
Set on a desirable Newlands Park road, this top-floor Victorian conversion offers a bright open-plan reception, two bedrooms and a private garden — all on a long share-of-freehold title. At about 794 sq ft the layout feels generous for a conversion: high ceilings and double-glazed windows bring natural light into the living and dining space, while the fitted kitchen and attic-style room provide flexible living for couples or first-time buyers.
The long lease (circa 959 years) and share of freehold give ownership stability and make future resale straightforward. Practical details include mains gas central heating to radiators, double glazing and an EPC rating of D. Council tax is described as affordable and broadband and mobile signals are strong — useful for home-working commuters.
There are a few material points to note. The wider area records higher crime levels, which should be factored into insurance and security choices. Some fabric elements appear dated and the building’s timber-frame walls are noted as having no assumed insulation, so upgrading thermal performance could be worthwhile. The property presents sensible scope for cosmetic improvement and energy upgrades that would add value.
Overall this conversion is a practical, well-located home with clear potential: a long lease, private outdoor space and good transport links make it especially suitable for first-time buyers or investor buyers seeking a straightforward conversion with room to add value through targeted improvements.
