This recently refurbished two-bedroom flat is arranged over the first and second floors of an early 20th-century end-terrace, offering bright living space and modern finishes throughout. The reception room is airy and well-lit, complemented by a separate contemporary kitchen and a stylish family bathroom with an additional en-suite WC. At around 637 sq ft, the layout suits a small family or professionals seeking a commuter-friendly home with immediate move-in condition.
The location is a strong practical asset: short walks bring you to Portland Road shops, good-rated primary and secondary schools, South Norwood Park and South Norwood Lakes, plus local bus links for connections across south London. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working, and the property’s newly refreshed interiors feel fresh and low-maintenance.
There are important factual considerations. The property is sold leasehold — buyers should confirm the lease length, ground rent and service charges before committing. The building is solid-brick with no known cavity insulation; further insulation or energy upgrades may be needed and could affect running costs. Crime levels in the wider area are above average and the local area is classified as deprived; prospective buyers should weigh these factors alongside the location benefits.
Overall, this flat offers a ready-to-live-in, modern interior within walking distance of parks, shops and transport. It will particularly suit first-time buyers or young families wanting a refurbished home near good local schools, while buyers sensitive to energy performance, tenure details or neighbourhood safety should carry out targeted checks.
