Summary - Newlands Park, LONDON SE26 5NE
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact two-bedroom near stations with communal garden and low council costs.
Long lease (circa 989 years) and shared freehold arrangement
This two-bedroom first-floor conversion offers a compact, well-presented home with period character and modern finishes. The flat benefits from high ceilings, a bay window and an open-plan living area that maximises light and usable space, making it an attractive starter home for commuters.
Practical advantages include a very long lease (circa 989 years) on a shared-freehold basis, chain-free sale, communal garden access and easy walking distance to Penge East and Sydenham stations. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and council tax is described as affordable.
Buyers should note the property is small (around 525 sq ft) and has one bathroom, so space is limited for growing households. There is an annual service charge of about £1,200 and the area records higher-than-average local crime levels. The building is solid brick with assumed lack of wall insulation and double glazing fitted before 2002, so additional thermal improvements could be needed.
Overall this flat suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a turn-key, commuter-friendly home with genuine scope to add value through modest upgrading and insulation improvements. Viewing is recommended to judge space and configuration in person.
