Set within a Victorian end-terrace block, this three-bedroom flat offers bright, well-proportioned rooms and high ceilings that emphasise a sense of space despite the property's overall small footprint (732 sq ft). The open-plan reception/kitchen features a sleek fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, making it ready for day-to-day living or simple cosmetic updates. Large windows deliver good natural light and the building offers off-street parking.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a central South Norwood location with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and direct access to local shops, bus routes and rail links. Several good and outstanding primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, and South Norwood Recreation Ground provides accessible green space.
There are practical issues to note: the flat is leasehold with 106 years remaining, an average service charge of £1,800 and ground rent of £500 pa. The building is solid brick (as built) with no assumed cavity insulation, it was constructed before 1900 and the wider area records very high crime and higher deprivation indicators. The property has one bathroom for three bedrooms and may benefit from some thermal and cosmetic improvements, which could appeal to buyers looking to add value.
