Set on a peaceful cul-de-sac in Anerley, this compact two-storey flat offers an accessible entry point to SE20 ownership. The ground-floor bedroom and bathroom combine with a first-floor open-plan lounge and modern kitchen to create a simple, practical layout suited to single buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Practical advantages include a share of freehold with around 135 years remaining on the lease, your own front door, and generous off-street parking for two to three cars — a rare find for the area. A loft storage space is included and has potential for conversion subject to planning, offering scope to increase living space or rental value.
Be aware this property is small overall and will suit someone seeking compact accommodation or an investment rather than a family home. Heating is by electric room heaters, which can mean higher energy costs compared with gas. The immediate neighbourhood has above-average crime statistics and pockets of deprivation, which will be important to consider for long-term residents or landlords.
Location strengths include multiple walkable rail links (Anerley, Penge East/West, Birkbeck), good local schools, and easy access to Crystal Palace Park and nearby high streets. With some light updating to finishes, this home could deliver comfortable, well-connected living or steady rental returns.
