741 sq ft with two double bedrooms and private rear garden
Set within a handsome early 20th-century terrace, this newly refurbished two-bedroom flat offers 741 sq ft of well-proportioned living space with a private rear garden. The layout retains period character — high ceilings and a bay-windowed living room — while presenting a contemporary kitchen and modern bathroom, making it move-in ready for first-time buyers or couples.
Practical benefits include double glazing throughout, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and share-of-freehold tenure, sold chain free for a straightforward purchase. Transport links are a strong local asset: Norwood Junction provides direct services to London Victoria, London Bridge and Overground connections through Shoreditch to Highbury & Islington, with East Croydon one stop away for Gatwick and national rail services.
Be clear about location and fabric: the property sits in an area with high local deprivation and average crime levels, and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated — heating costs could be higher than a modern insulated home. The double glazing appears to predate 2002, and council tax banding is not provided. These factors are reflected in the price and offer scope to add value through targeted insulation and energy-efficiency upgrades.
Overall this is a practical, well-presented apartment that combines period appeal and modern finishes, strong commuter access and private outdoor space. It will suit first-time buyers seeking an immediately liveable home with potential to improve energy performance and long-term value.
