This one-bedroom Victorian conversion on Samos Road is a compact, chain-free flat offering clear potential for a first-time buyer or investor willing to renovate. Set on the first floor of an end-of-terrace period building, the apartment measures about 410 sq ft and benefits from a new 125-year lease on completion, providing long-term security for buyers.
The accommodation includes a living room over 14ft, a separate kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. The property requires comprehensive modernisation throughout: cosmetic works, updating of services and likely improvements to thermal performance given solid brick walls with no known insulation. The gas central heating is present but not tested and the EPC is rated D.
Location is a strong practical selling point. Samos Road is a quiet, tree-lined street with good local amenities, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Anerley, Birkbeck and Norwood Junction stations are within easy reach, and green space at Crystal Palace Park and local shops, pubs and eateries on the Palace Triangle are a short walk away.
This flat suits someone seeking an affordable entry into the area who can accommodate renovation time and cost. Key positives are the long new lease, no onward chain and period character; notable drawbacks are the small overall size, required refurbishment and unverified heating system.
