Entry-level flat with renovation potential near Sydenham shops and parks.
First-floor two-bedroom flat, 538 sq ft
A compact two-bedroom first-floor flat in a handsome Tudor Revival building, offering entry-level ownership in SE26. The 538 sq ft layout delivers a separate living room, kitchen and bathroom — all ready for a sympathetic modernisation that will add value and comfort. The property benefits from a long lease and convenient access to Sydenham High Street, Mayow Park and local rail links.
Internally the flat is small and will need work: the kitchen shows signs of mould and water damage and fittings are dated; general modernisation and improved insulation are recommended. The building is solid brick (likely without cavity insulation) and heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators. Council tax is affordable, which helps running costs while you renovate.
Location is a genuine asset: established local schools (including several with Good or Outstanding Ofsted ratings), regular bus routes and nearby stations make this suitable for a first-time buyer or investor seeking rental demand. Be aware the area records above-average crime statistics and higher local deprivation measures; plan security and improvement budgets accordingly.
This flat suits a buyer who wants a reasonably priced London foothold with clear scope to improve cosmetic and energy performance. For someone prepared to carry out targeted works, the property offers practical upside and proximity to amenities and transport in a popular south-east London neighbourhood.
