Set on leafy Thornlaw Road, this first-floor two-bedroom flat blends Victorian character with a sunny private garden. High ceilings, decorative mouldings and large windows give the open-plan kitchen/reception a bright, airy feel that will suit relaxed city living. The property benefits from double glazing (post-2002), mains gas central heating and an exceptionally long lease with share of freehold.
The accommodation footprint is modest at about 680 sq ft and the photographed living/kitchen area reads compact to average. For some buyers it will function better as a one-bedroom or studio-style home; reconfiguration or internal modernisation could unlock clearer bedroom separation and improved value. The building is solid brick with no assumed cavity insulation — adding insulation would be a worthwhile upgrade for comfort and efficiency.
Practical financials are straightforward: 996 years remaining on the lease, ground rent £11 p.a., low or no service charge, EPC D and council tax band C. Transport and local amenities are strong: West Norwood station and frequent buses connect to central hubs, and a lively assortment of cafes, shops and leisure facilities are within easy reach.
This home will appeal to first-time buyers seeking character in a well-connected spot, and to buy-to-let investors after a low-maintenance period property with private outdoor space. Be prepared for modest room sizes and potential modernisation to maximise rental or resale value.
