Albemarle Road, Beckenham, BR3

A ground-floor two-bedroom, two-bathroom flat in a modern block, with a fantastic distribution of space and a very long lease (974 years), offered to the market with no onward chain. Please note that the photos of this flat are virtually staged to help you imagine the space better. To see the flat as it is, please look at the virtual tour.  

Located only a short walk (0.4mi/10 mins) to Beckenham Junction Station and also Beckenham’s vibrant and growing foodie scene, the flat is positioned in a serene, green and peaceful setting but is close to a fantastic transport hub for those who need to commute.

As mentioned, the internal space is very well distributed, and no room feels like it has a compromise in terms of space. The reception is a generously sized room with enough space for a defined dining area and lounge and like both the bedrooms adjacent to it, it has an eastern aspect, giving it fabulous light first thing in the morning.

Off the reception is the kitchen, which wouldn’t be out of place in a large house, such as its size; it has a huge amount of storage and worktop space, fully integrated appliances and the all-important gas hob! The kitchen could be easily revamped by replacing the worktops, floor tiles and splashbacks, giving it a very contemporary look for a modest outlay.

Both bedrooms are double rooms, one of which has an en-suite and a very generous amount of fitted wardrobes. Both rooms have an eastern aspect, so will see the sunrise first thing in the morning, which is a wonderful way to start the day!

Other functional features of the flat include a large storage cupboard in the hall near the entrance, and we also believe it has an off-street parking space.  

Tenure-wise, there is a very long lease of 974 years, the service charge is £2187.50 and the ground rent is peppercorn.

Location-wise, the flat is a short stroll from Beckenham Junction station, it’s at the end of Albemarle Road, and is only 0.4 mi away. It’s a flat walk, and Google Maps predicts it would take ten mins. From Beckenham Junction, you can easily access London Bridge, Victoria, and also there is a tram stop, so connecting to Croydon and the Gatwick Express is easy.

Beckenham’s growing restaurant and café scene is worth mentioning. Cuisines from around the world are on offer, and only a few of these businesses are chains; the majority are independently owned. At the end of the road, on the High St, there are some lovely breakfast and brunch spots, as well as an M&S Simply Food, and just behind the station, there is a full-size Waitrose supermarket.
