1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Long lease, communal gardens and parking — ideal for first-time buyers or investors..
Ground-floor one-bedroom, 465 sq ft
A ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in a quiet residential block on South Norwood Hill, offering practical space and long-term security. The 465 sq ft layout includes a bright 13ft lounge overlooking communal gardens, a generous bedroom, fitted kitchen and bathroom — a straightforward home for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor.
The flat benefits from an exceptionally long lease (941 years), residents' off-street parking and shared gardens, plus good local transport links to Crystal Palace and Norwood Junction. Local schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, and the area is identified as an inner-city, cosmopolitan pocket popular with tech workers.
The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and the exterior and some internal finishes are dated and will need modernisation. The property has double glazing (installation date unknown), cavity walls assumed without added insulation and a mains gas boiler with radiators. Service charge is approximately £1,200 per year. These facts make it a realistic renovation project with scope to add value through updating and energy-efficiency improvements.
Overall this is a practical, well-located flat offering secure long-lease ownership and rental potential, best suited to buyers comfortable with light refurbishment or investors seeking a ready-to-improve asset in a well-connected south London location.
