The apartment has a functional layout with a living room opening to a private balcony, a contemporary fitted kitchen, one double bedroom and a three-piece bathroom. Double glazing and gas central heating provide comfort and efficiency; the EPC is rated C.
Practical running costs are clear: a modest ground rent of £10 pa and service charge around £114.99 monthly (approx. £1,379.88 yearly). The lease has 90 years remaining — enough for purchase but something to monitor for future mortgage or resale considerations. Council tax is described as cheap, and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Location is a major draw: frequent trains from West Norwood, plenty of shops, bars and leisure facilities nearby, and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools within easy reach. Note the property sits in an area with above-average crime levels and higher area deprivation than surrounding districts — buyers should factor local safety and amenity planning into their decision.
The building dates from the late 1970s–early 1980s with assumed insulated timber-frame walls; while the flat is presented in good order, purchasers wanting longer-term security may wish to check building maintenance history, communal reserves and any planned works. Overall this is a compact, well-located flat offering straightforward city living with realistic running costs and clear scope for personalisation.
