This smartly renovated one-bedroom garden flat combines Victorian character with contemporary finishes, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking move-in readiness and outdoor space. Set across ground and basement levels, the 660 sq ft layout gives generous proportions for a one-bedroom home, with high ceilings, a bay-windowed living room, and a genuine double bedroom with built-in wardrobes.
Recent works include a new kitchen and bathroom, timber worktops, and wood-effect flooring throughout the main level. The kitchen’s glazed doors open directly onto a private rear garden with lawn, established planting and a covered deck—a rare feature at this price. The basement provides around 124 sq ft of practical storage, keeping living space uncluttered.
Practicalities are straightforward: the flat is chain free with a 111-year lease, an annual buildings insurance contribution of about £317, and a small ground rent of £180 per year. There is a paved area to the front offering the option to apply for a dropped curb to create off-street parking, though this has not yet been implemented.
Notable points to inspect: the building displays typical period-age issues and a damp risk flag was noted in feature descriptions—buyers should commission a survey to confirm condition. Transport links are strong, with Anerley and Birkbeck stations close by, local shops and cafés nearby, and easy access to Crystal Palace and Beckenham amenities. Overall this is a characterful, low-effort home with outdoor space and sensible ongoing costs.
