There is one bathroom and the flat is average-sized at c. 677 sq ft, so it will suit buyers seeking manageable space rather than a large family home.
The property is presented as habitable and characterful; there are no reported flooding risks and local crime levels are average. Buyers should note the flat is leasehold with an ongoing service charge and contains period features that may require typical maintenance. Overall this is an appealing entry into Sydenham for those prioritising character, garden access and good connections.
