This split-level, two-bedroom maisonette on Sylvan Road offers roomy living across 771 sqft with its own front door and a private balcony overlooking well-kept communal gardens. Set on a mid-century residential estate close to Crystal Palace Triangle, the layout of two double bedrooms and a generous living room suits first-time buyers or couples seeking extra space in a popular, well-connected area.
The home is sold chain free with a very long lease (955 years) — a clear tenure advantage — but it does require modernisation throughout. Cosmetic and systems upgrades are needed to bring the flat up to contemporary standards, so buyers should factor renovation time and costs into their plans. Service charges average £3,996 per year (around £333 pcm) with a minimal ground rent of £15 per year.
Local amenities are strong: Crystal Palace Park, Norwood Lakes and a variety of shops and transport links are within easy reach, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent. Note there is currently a public notice of an offer on the property; any interested buyers should be prepared to act promptly.
