1 Bedroom Flat, Avenue Road, Beckenham, BR3

A split-level one-bedroom maisonette with a private entrance, a share of freehold and a 900+ year lease. It is located in a quiet residential location near multiple transport links and offered to the market with no onward chain.

A great first-time purchase that ticks a lot of boxes; there’s the share of freehold and a private entrance, and as it is chain-free, there will be no delays or complications, which is ideal if you’d like to complete before the March stamp duty deadline!

 Being split level and with your own entrance, you’ll be forgiven for thinking you were in a small house! The open plan kitchen living room is a nice set up for entertaining and has a lovely feel about it; it’s also very bright in the afternoon as it has a western aspect, which gets the sun from early afternoon through to the evening.

The kitchen is arranged in an L-shape, which creates a generous amount of worktop space; there’s space for a slimline dishwasher, a washing machine and a proper fridge. For those who enjoy cooking, there’s the all-important gas cooker, and although there are two modern double-glazed windows for ventilation, there is also a proper extractor fan over the cooker to extract cooking smells.

The bathroom is adjacent to the living room and has a shower over a full-size bath. There are partially tiled walls, making it easier to keep clean, and there’s the all-important window for ventilation! Downstairs, you have the bedroom, which has space for a couple of wardrobes and dressers or drawers in addition to a large bed.

Tenure-wise, the flat has a share of freehold and an accompanying lease in excess of 900 years, and there are no service charges or ground rent.

The location of this home is worth mentioning; not only is it in a great spot for the local Beckenham foodie scene, it’s in a great spot for transport links, too. Avenue Road tram stop is 0.1mi away (or 3 mins according to Google Maps), which is only two stops away from Beckenham Junction, where you can get a direct train to Victoria (which only takes 24 mins) and stops at Herne Hill & Brixton, great for visits to the amazing restaurants and bars they both offer. Clock House & Kent House Stations are also nearby (0.4 & 0.3 mi, respectively) and give access to Charing Cross & Victoria for those needing to commute into town.

Nearby at Elmers End, there is a large Tesco supermarket, and more locally, just past Birkbeck station, there is a post office, a co-op, a couple of cafes catering to all tastes, a barbers, a gym and other amenities too. Beckenham High St is easy to access and offers a wide selection of shops and offers a village feel, there is a cinema, dentists, Sainsburys and an array of restaurants from chains such as Zizzi & Nandos to independents which are locally celebrated, there really is something for everyone on Beckenham High Street, Penge High Street, Crystal Palace and Sydenham are all within easy reach too.
