The property comes with a long lease (978 years share of freehold), a private garage and a secure allocated parking space — useful extras for first-time buyers seeking convenience and future resale appeal. Communal grounds are mature and well-maintained, and local transport links (Crystal Palace, Gipsy Hill) provide easy routes into central London.
