Spacious top-floor one-bedroom with share of freehold and strong scope to modernise.
Top-floor one-bedroom, approx. 850 sq ft — unusually large for area
Spanning approximately 850 sq ft on the top floor of a handsome Victorian building, this large one-bedroom flat is offered with a share of the freehold and immediate scope to add value. An own private front door opens to a utility area and a wide hallway with good storage; the layout includes a generous reception room to the front, a large eat-in kitchen to the rear, a double bedroom and bathroom. A loft provides extra storage or future conversion potential (subject to consents).
The property would benefit from cosmetic modernisation throughout, presenting a clear opportunity for a buyer to upgrade finishes, kitchen and bathroom to personal taste. The building’s timber-frame walls are recorded as having no insulation (assumed), so buyers should budget for heating and thermal-improvement works if desired. Double glazing is present but the install date is unknown.
Practical details support everyday living: mains gas boiler and radiators, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, and a low council tax band. Transport links are strong — Peckham Rye station and Rye Lane amenities (cafés, bars, independent shops and cinema) are within easy walking distance. There is no reported flood risk and the area is an established, inner-city cosmopolitan neighbourhood popular with tech workers and young professionals.
This flat suits a first-time buyer or investor who wants a substantial one-bedroom home with share-of-freehold security and clear scope to add value. Be realistic about renovation tasks and potential insulation or heating upgrades when assessing budget and timing.
