Period charm with modern kitchen and private southeast-facing garden, close to West Norwood station..
Two double bedrooms and one bathroom
Set within a handsome Victorian semi-detached building on Thornlaw Road, this well-presented two-bedroom flat offers period charm and modern living across c.850 sq ft. The apartment combines two double bedrooms, an open-plan kitchen/reception and a southeast-facing private garden — a rare outdoor space for a property of this type in West Norwood. High ceilings and bay-window character create a light, roomy feel while contemporary fittings in the kitchen add immediate move-in convenience.
The location suits first-time buyers and young families: West Norwood station is within easy reach for frequent services into London Bridge and Victoria, and nearby Knights Hill and Norwood Road provide shops, cafes and leisure amenities. Several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are close by, including two ranked in the top 10% locally, which adds appeal for families.
Practical details are straightforward: double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas boiler and radiators, and no flood risk. The building dates from before 1900 with solid brick walls; there may be scope for thermal and energy improvements. The property is leasehold — documentation lists both c.100 years and 118 years remaining, so buyers should confirm the exact term and any service charges or restrictions.
Overall this flat offers a mix of period character, practical modern updates and a private garden in a sought-after inner-city location. It will suit buyers wanting immediate comfort with the potential to enhance energy performance and add personal touches over time.
