Third-floor flat with lift access

This third-floor two-bedroom apartment in Byron House offers a straightforward, practical home for a first-time buyer or investor. At about 626 sq ft, the layout includes two double bedrooms, a reception room, contemporary kitchen and a bathroom. Lift access and an en-bloc garage add real convenience for daily life and renting appeal.
The property comes chain-free with an exceptionally long 992-year lease, simplifying purchase and long-term ownership. Its location is a major strength: three nearby mainline stations (Beckenham Junction, Beckenham Hill, New Beckenham) provide strong transport links, while Beckenham High Street and Beckenham Place Park are within easy walking distance. Broadband and mobile signals are good for remote working.
Practical considerations: heating is by electric room heaters only, which may lead to higher running costs compared with gas central heating. The area records above-average crime and is classified as deprived, which buyers should weigh against the attractive transport links and local amenities. Double glazing is present but install date is unknown.
Overall this is an accessible, low-risk buy for someone seeking a manageable first home or a rental with immediate lettable appeal. The property is habitable now but offers scope for cosmetic updates and modest improvements to heating and energy efficiency to boost comfort and future value.
