This first-floor apartment sits within an elegant Victorian semi-detached conversion on Sydenham Road, offering two double bedrooms and a bright, spacious reception room. The property benefits from period sash windows, high ceilings and a private ground-floor entrance, giving a sense of individuality often missing in apartment blocks.
Practical strengths include a long lease (948 years), share of freehold tenure, chain-free sale, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The layout of around 675 sq ft is efficiently arranged with a separate kitchen and family bathroom, making it suitable for first-time buyers or buyers seeking a rental investment near Gloucester and Whiteladies Roads.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: there is no private garden or external amenity, the building’s solid masonry walls likely lack modern cavity insulation, and internal finishes may require updating. The area scores as very deprived with a very high crime level, which may affect desirability for some purchasers.
Service charges are modest for the area (£480), and council tax is low, helping running costs. Overall, the flat offers attractive character, strong connectivity and investment potential, but purchasers should factor in neighbourhood safety and possible retrofit or cosmetic works when assessing value.
