2 Bedroom Flat, Thornlaw Road, London, SE27

A pretty, first-floor two-bedroom flat with a share of freehold, located on the highly sought-after Thornlaw Road in the heart of West Norwood. This split-level flat is beautifully finished with a modern kitchen & bathroom and has a good distribution of its space across all the rooms, coupled with its incredible location, it’s a perfect first-time purchase.

At the front of the flat, you have the living room, which is spacious and has large sash windows allowing natural light to flood in, notably, it has a southern aspect (so is super bright), and the windows are double-glazed sash windows, which are quite an investment but absolutely worth it as they keep the period look but are high performing. Other charming features, such as period cornicing, retain the character in the room, but it has a distinctly modern vibe.

The kitchen is beautiful, with acres of solid wood worktops and abundant storage, making it perfect for those who love to cook and entertain, especially as there is a gas hob! There is scope to knock the kitchen into the reception room if you want to, which would create one lovely open space and add additional light from the kitchen window.

Down the hall, there is the second bedroom, which is a legit double (hard to find at this price point, we know!) and to the rear is the master bedroom, which is also spacious and bright; both rooms are carpeted so feel cosy and warm, and also both have quality double glazed windows, with a pretty view over the rear.

The bathroom is nicely done, there’s a shower over a full-size bath, giving you the best of both worlds and the fit and finish are fantastic; with tiled walls and floor, it’s also very easy to keep clean and looking fresh!

The flat has a share of freehold, and as such, there is no ground rent. The self-elected service charge set by the co-freeholders is £700 per annum, covering building insurance and building maintenance. The other notable thing to mention is the condition of the building, which is immaculate. The residents here have clearly put a lot of love, money & time into maintaining the building, and it really shows.

Location-wise, the flat is positioned in a truly fantastic position; being at the bottom of the incredibly popular and very attractive Thornlaw Road, where you are set back from the hustle & bustle but just a stone's throw from some fantastic pubs, cafes and coffee shops, such as the Great North Wood, Otter & Knowles of Norwood to name a few. There’s also West Norwood Picturehouse cinema, which is only 0.3 mi away and a number of chain and indie shops for food and grocery shopping.

West Norwood Station is 0.2 mi away (5 min walk according to Google Maps), giving you access to both London Bridge & Victoria, you can also be at Clapham Junction in 14 mins, Victoria in 22 mins & London Bridge takes only 32 mins, there's also a fast train to London Bridge every half an hour or so that takes only 24 mins. Including your brief walk to the station that’s a breeze of a commute to any of those hubs!
