Set on Thurlestone Road in West Norwood, this newly renovated two-bedroom ground-floor flat combines Victorian character with contemporary comfort. High ceilings, large bay windows and period features give a bright, airy feel while modern finishes create a move-in-ready home for first-time buyers.
The flat includes a separate kitchen, contemporary bathroom and a generous sole-use rear garden — a rare city-floor advantage for outdoor space, gardening or entertaining. At around 705 sq ft, rooms are comfortably proportioned for a couple or small family and the layout flows well for daily living.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with 106 years remaining. Annual service charge is approximately £1,800 and ground rent £250. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and the building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, which may affect heating efficiency. Crime levels in the area are above average and the wider neighbourhood has pockets of deprivation, though transport links are handy (0.4–0.7 miles to two stations).
Overall this flat will suit buyers seeking character, outdoor space and a ready-to-live-in home close to local schools and transport. The renovation reduces immediate maintenance, but prospective purchasers should confirm lease, service charge and insulation/heating details during conveyancing.
