Affordable first-step home near Crystal Palace amenities and good schools.
50% shared ownership — eligibility required
A bright, first-floor apartment in a modern 2000s development, offered for shared ownership (50% share subject to eligibility). The home presents a generous 22ft open-plan lounge and kitchen with a bay window and dual aspect, plus two double bedrooms and a family bathroom — comfortable living of about 748 sq ft in a compact footprint. The long lease (113 years) and chain-free sale reduce purchase friction for buyers moving in or stepping onto the housing ladder.
Practical benefits include residents’ off-street parking, mains gas central heating with recent double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for homeworking and everyday life. Local transport links put Crystal Palace and Norwood Junction within easy reach, while nearby parks, shops and reputable primary and secondary schools suit young families.
Notable points to consider: this is shared ownership (50% share) and the purchaser must meet eligibility criteria; service charges are approximately £1,764 per year. The wider area scores as deprived and has average crime levels, which may concern some buyers. The living room shows signs of dated decor and would benefit from cosmetic modernisation to reflect current tastes.
Overall, the apartment is a practical, well-located option for an eligible first-time buyer or household seeking an affordable entry into SE19 property, with clear scope to personalise and add value through modest updating.
