This well-presented one-bedroom ground-floor apartment offers practical city-living with a long lease (152 years) and secure private parking. The layout is compact but efficiently arranged: a combined living/study area, modern galley kitchen, contemporary bathroom and a double bedroom. A private paved patio and access to a communal garden add outdoor space uncommon for this price band.
The flat has recent double glazing and clean modern finishes throughout, making it move-in ready for a single occupant, couple or investor. Service charge and ground rent are modest (approx. £1,500 pa service charge; £250 ground rent). Heating is electric space heaters and walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation, so energy costs could be higher than gas-heated properties.
Location is a major selling point: a few minutes from Norwood Junction Overground, South Norwood Recreation Ground, shops, cafes and good-rated local schools. Note the property sits in an inner-city, high-crime and relatively deprived area; buyers should weigh local safety and resale/letting considerations.
Overall this property suits first-time buyers seeking affordable entry into SE25, buyers wanting a low-maintenance pied-à-terre with private parking, or investors looking for a straightforward let. It offers clear potential to personalise and increase value, but comes with urban-area trade-offs to consider.
