Set across the first and second floors of a Victorian building, this spacious 2-bedroom maisonette offers generous living space and period character close to Sydenham and Penge amenities. The bright reception room with a bay window and fireplace creates a comfortable living and dining area, while two well-sized double bedrooms provide practical family or sharer accommodation. A sizeable kitchen and private garden add day-to-day convenience.
The property is a leasehold with 88 years remaining, a service charge of £128 and a ground rent of £10. The building is of solid brick construction (likely without cavity insulation), so buyers should factor potential improvement costs for energy efficiency and thermal comfort. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; the apartment has contemporary neutral décor and laminate flooring but may benefit from some updating depending on buyer preference.
Location is a strong asset: good local schools nearby, fast broadband, and regular transport links into Central London. The area is inner-city cosmopolitan and popular with new EU tech workers, offering cafés, shops and local services close at hand. Note that local crime levels are reported as high, which should be considered when assessing security needs and insurance costs.
Suitable for first-time buyers or couples seeking a large, characterful home with scope to add value through targeted refurbishment. The property’s size and two-floor layout offer flexible living arrangements, but the lease length and potential insulation work are material considerations for mortgage lenders and budgets.
