A well-proportioned one-bedroom ground floor purpose-built flat, situated in a convenient position on Croydon Road, Penge. The accommodation extends to approximately 507 sq ft and comprises a welcoming reception room, separate kitchen, spacious bedroom and bathroom/en-suite facilities. The ground floor position and well-planned layout make this an attractive proposition for a range of buyers.<br/><br/>The property is particularly well placed for access to Penge High Street, where residents can find an excellent variety of independent retailers, cafés, restaurants, takeaways and everyday shopping facilities. Supermarkets and other national retailers are also readily accessible. <br/><br/>For commuters, the area benefits from a choice of railway stations. Penge East provides Southeastern services including direct trains towards London Victoria, while Penge West is served by the London Overground Windrush line with services towards Highbury & Islington and West Croydon. <br/><br/>One of the property's standout advantages is its proximity to Winsford Gardens, located between Benwick Court and Burmarsh Court. Originally part of the private grounds of Winsford House, the gardens were transferred to Bromley Council in the late 1970s and subsequently restored as a community green space. Today, Winsford Gardens provides a surprisingly tranquil environment despite its urban setting, with mature trees, formal rose gardens, ornamental beds, lawns, fruit trees, ponds, woodland planting and wildlife habitats. Community volunteers have introduced a gravel garden, wildflower meadow, sensory planting, raised vegetable beds, a natural children's play area and other features designed to encourage biodiversity. The gardens are also home to the Penge Green Gym and Friends of Winsford Gardens, making this a genuinely community-focused open space. <br/><br/>Further recreational opportunities can be found at Penge Recreation Ground, Betts Park, Cator Park and Crystal Palace Park, while the area's connection to the Green Chain Walk provides additional walking routes and access to London's wider network of green spaces. <br/><br/>An excellent opportunity to acquire a well-located one-bedroom ground floor flat with an outstanding selection of transport, shopping, leisure and green-space facilities close at hand.<br/><br/>Tenure - Leasehold <br/>Lease Length - 189 years from 25 December 1971<br/>134 Years Remaining<br/>Service Charge - £1,020 P/A<br/>Ground Rent - N/A<br/>Local Authority Bromley Council Tax Band - B<br/>Energy Efficiency Rating C
