Summary - Ground floor flat 68 Norwood road SE24 9BB
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
One-bedroom period flat with garden and private parking, ideal for first-time buyers.
Share of freehold ownership included
This ground-floor Victorian conversion offers a well-proportioned one-bedroom home with character features and outdoor space in a convenient Herne Hill location. High ceilings, sash-style windows and a fireplace give an immediate period feel, while a fitted kitchen and double-glazed doors from the bedroom bring practical modern comfort. The flat includes an allocated off-street parking space and access to a large communal garden not overlooked to the rear.
The property is sold with a share of freehold and 86 years remaining on the lease, a useful ownership benefit but a materially short lease length that buyers should factor into mortgage and valuation discussions. Council tax is described as affordable and there are no regular service charges, though buildings insurance is noted (approx. £351.56). EPC D and solid-brick construction (likely no cavity insulation) mean there is scope to improve energy efficiency.
Transport links are strong: Herne Hill station (Victoria, Thameslink) and local buses are close by, and Brockwell Park is within easy reach. The area suits a buyer looking for a period property with a private parking space and communal garden, such as a first-time buyer or investor seeking a let-ready one-bedroom close to central routes.
Notable negatives are the limited lease length (86 years), an EPC of D, and the local statistics provided (above-average crime and higher area deprivation) which may influence insurance, lending and resale. The building dates from the early 20th century and may require attention to insulation and long-term maintenance plans. Viewing is recommended to assess condition and potential for upgrading energy performance and lease extension costs.
