Long lease two-bed flat near Norwood Junction — ready to move in or rent out.
Long lease (133 years) and offered with no onward chain
A well-proportioned two-bedroom first-floor flat with a long lease and no onward chain, set in a mid-20th-century brick block in South Norwood. The bright reception room, separate fitted kitchen and modern bathroom make this an immediately liveable home for a first buyer or couple. Communal gardens and residents’ parking add outdoor space and practical convenience in an otherwise built-up area.
Practical details suit a range of buyers: 133 years remaining on the lease, electric storage heating and double-glazed windows. The building presents straightforward maintenance expectations, though external brickwork and cladding should be inspected and the cavity walls are likely uninsulated — an opportunity to improve energy efficiency.
Location is a primary selling point. Norwood Junction and Selhurst stations are within easy reach, offering fast links into central London and Gatwick. Local shops, cafés and schools are close by, making everyday errands simple and commuting efficient.
Important considerations: the flat is compact at about 560 sq ft, and the area records very high crime levels and local deprivation statistics; buyers should factor this into long-term plans. Residents’ parking is available but on a first-come, first-served basis, and the main heating is electric storage, which can be costly compared with gas alternatives.
