This one-bedroom Victorian conversion flat offers bright, well-proportioned rooms and a private garden in SE20. High ceilings and large sash-style windows bring generous natural light into the living room, creating an airy main living space that will appeal to first-time buyers or couples. The separate kitchen and bathroom are practical and ready for everyday use.
Practical benefits include gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and a long lease with share of freehold (116 years). Service charge is low at around £60 per year and council tax band is inexpensive, helping keep running costs down. The flat sits on the upper ground floor and totals about 517 sq ft (approx.), a typical size for a one-bedroom conversion.
Location is a strong point: two nearby stations (Penge East ~6 minutes, Penge West ~11 minutes on foot) and close access to parks, pubs and local shops. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal add to everyday convenience.
Notable drawbacks are factual and worth considering: the property was built around 1930–49 with cavity walls assumed uninsulated, and the glazing pre-dates 2002, so energy efficiency may be limited and future insulation or window upgrades could be desirable. The garden is private but described as narrow. Local recorded crime levels are high; buyers should check local data and visiting times. Overall, this is a bright, characterful flat with reasonable running costs and obvious potential for modest cosmetic improvement or insulation upgrades.
