A bright one-bedroom first-floor flat in a Victorian mid-terrace conversion on Sangley Road, offered chain free and with a long lease (148 years). The apartment is presented in neutral, recently refreshed decor and benefits from UPVC double glazing and gas central heating, making it move-in ready for a single buyer or couple.
The layout centres on a generous open-plan reception and fitted kitchen which maximises the apartment’s modest footprint; the bedroom is a comfortable double and the bathroom includes a shower over the bath. Transport links are a key selling point — Norwood Junction rail and overground services are within easy reach, and local shops, parks and amenities are nearby.
Practical costs are straightforward: an annual service charge of £600 (below average) and council tax band B. There is no private outdoor space and the property faces the street with on-street views only, so buyers seeking a garden or elevated outlook should note this. The flat sits in an area with higher deprivation indicators, which may affect resale or lettings in some markets.
Overall this is a compact, well-presented urban flat suited to a first-time buyer or investor looking for a low-maintenance purchase with strong transport access and a long lease.
