A compact one-bedroom ground-floor apartment set within a converted Victorian detached house on Sydenham Road. The 354 sq ft open-plan living area benefits from high ceilings, a large double-glazed bay window and contemporary oak-engineered flooring, creating a bright, modern feel despite the property’s modest footprint.
The kitchen is fitted with handle-less white high-gloss units, an island and integrated appliances — suitable for everyday cooking and occasional home-working. A neatly appointed bathroom and a double bedroom complete the layout; the long lease (999 years) removes a common leasehold worry and service charges are reported below average.
Practical advantages include gas central heating, double glazing (post-2002) and a pebbled communal driveway offering off-street parking on a first-come, first-served basis. Excellent transport links to East Croydon station and the tram make this an efficient base for commuting into London or Gatwick.
Important considerations: the flat is small (354 sq ft) and sits in a higher-crime, deprived part of Croydon, which may concern some buyers. The building’s solid brick Victorian construction likely lacks wall insulation. The communal parking is unallocated, and the property has limited outdoor private space.
This apartment will suit a purchase-minded first-time buyer, city worker or buy-to-let investor seeking a low-maintenance, well-connected pied-à-terre with character and modern fittings, provided the compact size and local area profile fit their needs.
