Summary - 38 PORTHCAWE ROAD, LONDON SE26 5TA
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable entry to SE26 with park views and strong transport links.
Chain free two-bedroom fifth-floor flat, 507 sq ft
A chain-free two-bedroom flat on the fifth floor offering 507 sq ft of well-lit living space and clear transport links. Large windows and a park-facing aspect bring good natural light; rooms are compact but functional. The building is a mid-terrace brick block with communal grounds and on-site parking.
Practical details suit buyers seeking a straightforward central London purchase: a long lease (approximately 102 years remaining), mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown), and a council tax band that is relatively low. The property is presented in basic condition and will likely benefit from light redecoration or cosmetic updating.
Notable downsides are material: the flat is on the fifth floor with no private garden (balconies only), the surrounding area records higher crime and marked deprivation, and the service charge cited is significant (approx. £1,721.29 annually). These factors are important for owners occupying or renting the property and may affect mortgage or letting appetite.
Suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors prepared to refurbish, this property offers an affordable route into SE26 with good access to Sydenham High Street, Home Park and local stations. Prospective purchasers should verify service charge, building condition, and any additional fees before committing.
