This bright, split-level conversion occupies the top floors of a Victorian terraced building on Gipsy Road. The open-plan 17ft reception and kitchen, sash-style windows and hardwood floors make efficient use of the compact 503 sq ft footprint, while elevated windows provide noteworthy London views. The property is offered chain free with a long lease (124 years) — attractive for first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors.
Practical running costs are supported by mains gas central heating and double glazing fitted after 2002. The flat sits between West Norwood and Gipsy Hill stations (both around half a mile), with local shops, parks and several well-rated primary and secondary schools within easy reach. Service charge is modest at £250 pcm.
Be clear about the trade-offs: the building is Victorian with solid brick walls that are assumed uninsulated, so heating costs and retrofit insulation work may be needed to improve efficiency. The flat is compact and arranged over split levels with stairs up to the top-floor rooms, making it less suitable for limited-mobility buyers. The surrounding area scores as deprived overall and records average local crime; buyers should consider local context alongside transport convenience.
For investors this unit’s size, long lease and proximity to two rail links make it straightforward to let; for first-time buyers it offers an affordable route into SE27 with period character and scope to update cosmetic fixtures. Any purchaser should factor potential improvement costs for insulation and modernisation when calculating value.
