Balcony, secure parking and quick links for commuters.
Allocated off-street parking behind secure gates
Bright, well-proportioned one-bedroom flat in a gated development, ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The large reception room and generous windows flood the apartment with natural light and open onto a private balcony with tree-lined views and a distant glimpse of Crystal Palace Tower. The separate kitchen provides space for dining, and the flat includes one allocated off-street parking space behind secure gates.
Practical ownership features include a very long lease (946 years) and share of freehold, modest ground rent (£1), and an affordable council tax band. Service charges run at about £2,124 per year; prospective buyers should check what this covers. The property is well connected — roughly a 12–13 minute walk to Anerley and Birkbeck stations and local amenities nearby.
Known considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas central heating, and the building’s cavity walls are assumed to lack added insulation. Double glazing is in place but was installed before 2002 and may be less efficient than modern units. The flat was built in 1974, so buyers should allow for general updating and to verify services and appliances.
Overall this 529 sq ft apartment offers a straightforward, low-maintenance entry into SE20 ownership with secure parking and good transport links — a practical choice for a first home or a rental purchase, provided you factor in running costs and potential energy upgrades.
