Situated above a Tesco Express on South Norwood Hill, this two-bedroom purpose-built apartment offers practical urban living with strong transport links. The open-plan kitchen/living room and large floor-to-ceiling windows create a bright feel across a sensible 699 sq ft layout. Lift access and an entry-phone system add day-to-day convenience.
This flat is well suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a central location close to Norwood Junction BR/Overground and South Norwood High Street. Local primary and secondary schools (several rated Good) and the nearby Crystal Palace Triangle add local amenity value. The property is chain-free, gas central heated and double glazed, with an EPC rating of C.
Buyers should note material details: the lease has about 89 years remaining, the service charge averages £2,083.64 per year and ground rent is approximately £325 per year. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow, and crime levels are very high locally — both factors to consider for occupation or letting.
Overall this is a practical, well-lit apartment in a convenient, inner-city spot with renovation or rental potential. It will suit purchasers prioritising transport, local shops and a ready-to-move-in property, provided they accept the lease length, running costs and local area characteristics.
