Set within easy walking distance of Crystal Palace Park and Overground stations, this two-bedroom leasehold flat offers a bright, well-presented living space for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The living room's high sash-style window and Edwardian proportions create a light, airy feel, while the modern fitted kitchen and bathroom mean the property is ready to occupy.
Practical details are straightforward: a long lease (circa 118 years), communal garden and off-street parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The flat’s EPC is rated D (current 67, potential 78), so there is some scope to improve efficiency and reduce bills if desired.
Buyers should note the property is small overall (approx. 474 sq ft) and sits in an area with above-average crime and measurable local deprivation. The building is solid-brick construction with assumed lack of cavity insulation, and the service charge (circa £1,885pa) and ground rent (£75pa) are additional ongoing costs to factor into affordability calculations.
For purchasers seeking good transport links, nearby green space and a ready-to-live-in apartment, this flat presents sensible value. Those wanting larger accommodation or a low-maintenance postcode may prefer to compare other options.
