This bright, newly renovated ground-floor one-bedroom apartment occupies part of a period semi-detached building and comes to market with no onward chain. A long new lease of 179 years and double glazing give long-term security, while direct access onto a large communal garden provides a rare outdoor space for a ground-floor flat.
Internally the layout is traditional and well presented: a spacious living room, sizeable kitchen, double bedroom and a three-piece shower room. The flat has been redecorated throughout, feels light and airy and suits a first-time buyer or commuter seeking a low-maintenance pied-à-terre close to Norwood Junction and Overground connections to central London.
Practical costs and constraints are straightforward: the property is leasehold with a modest ground rent and an average annual service charge. Constructed c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls, the building may lack cavity insulation; a potential damp issue is noted in the exterior description and should be checked at survey stage. Council tax is described as cheap and there is no flooding risk.
Local amenities are strong: good primary schools nearby, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, Crystal Palace Triangle’s bars and restaurants within easy reach and green spaces including South Norwood Lake a short stroll away. For buyers prioritising transport, outdoor space and a long lease in a period building, this apartment offers immediate move-in readiness with sensible scope for personalisation.
