Set on Sydenham Hill, this bright one-bedroom flat makes a practical, well-located home for a first-time buyer or a compact buy-to-let. The reception room is the focal space, with large south/south‑east-facing windows and patio doors that open onto a private balcony overlooking mature trees and Wells Park. The layout is straightforward: living room, separate kitchen with pantry, double bedroom and a three-piece bathroom.
The flat is offered in good decorative order with timber-style flooring, fitted shelving, double glazing and generous built-in storage. Practical benefits include a 100-year lease, EPC C and low local crime. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and the property sits within walking distance of Sydenham, Crystal Palace, Dulwich and Forest Hill, plus local green spaces such as Dulwich and Sydenham Woods.
Buyers should note the compact footprint (approximately 487 sq ft) — typical for a city one-bedroom — which suits a single occupant or couple rather than those needing extensive space. The block dates from the mid‑20th century and is system-built, with no known wall insulation; the glazing was installed before 2002. The flat has communal gardens rather than a private garden.
Overall, this is a light, well-presented apartment offering immediate turn-key living and clear rental appeal. It will particularly suit purchasers seeking a manageable first home with good transport links and attractive parkland outlooks, while those planning major energy-efficiency upgrades should factor potential insulation work into their plans.
