Summary - 56 FLAT 6 THICKET ROAD LONDON SE20 8DR
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact period flat opposite Crystal Palace Park — perfect first home or rental.
Opposite Crystal Palace Park with open park views
Set on the second floor of a handsome Victorian house, this compact one-bedroom flat offers direct views over Crystal Palace Park and convenient access to several local stations. The open-plan kitchen-living room is bright and efficiently laid out, and the bedroom includes built-in wardrobes to maximise the footprint. A modern bathroom and excellent broadband/mobiles add to city-living practicality.
The property is chain free with a very long lease (985 years) and is well suited to first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into SE20 or investors targeting a central park-side rental. At 324 sq ft the apartment is small, so it works best for single buyers or couples wanting a low-maintenance home with great green-space on the doorstep.
Notable negatives are its compact size and solid-brick construction likely lacking wall insulation, which could increase heating costs unless upgraded. The local area records above-average crime and higher overall deprivation scores, factors buyers should consider alongside the low council tax. The building dates from 1900–1929, so communal and roof maintenance may be a future cost.
Practical positives include a private garden, excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and close transport links (Penge West 0.2 miles). The flat’s position opposite Crystal Palace Park and proximity to shops, cafés and strong local schools give genuine lifestyle appeal for the right buyer.
