Long lease studio with bright rooms and fast rail links, ready to modernise..
First-floor studio with unusually spacious open-plan layout
A generously proportioned first-floor studio in an Edwardian terrace on a quiet cul-de-sac, offered with a long lease in excess of 140 years and no onward chain. The apartment's unusually open layout and large sash-style windows create a bright, airy space that can be zoned for sleeping, living and dining — a rare feature for a studio of this size.
Location is a practical draw: short walks to Norwood Junction and Selhurst stations for fast central-London connections, and close to Crystal Palace’s shops, cafes and parkland. Local amenities are plentiful, with gyms, convenience stores and bus routes nearby. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working.
Buyers should note the flat is modest in total size (about 312 sq ft) and sits above ground level in a period mid-terrace with limited front forecourt and no significant private garden. The building reflects its age (c.1900–1929) and will benefit from cosmetic updating and possible modernization to heating or electrics; glazing is double but install date is unknown. The surrounding ward is relatively deprived, and council tax is very low.
This property suits a practical first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located, low-maintenance entry into the south London market. Its long lease and no-chain status reduce purchase friction, but factor in refurbishment costs and limited private outdoor space when assessing value.
