Summary - 40 LANCING ROAD CROYDON CR0 3EL
1 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Compact one-bedroom with garden, long lease and strong transport links.
Private ground-floor entrance and rear garden
This ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette offers a compact, private home with its own entrance and a rear garden — an attractive starter home or buy-to-let in Croydon. At about 450 sq ft the layout is efficient: a bright reception room, double bedroom with fitted wardrobe space, a modern L-shaped kitchen and a separate bathroom. The property is offered with no onward chain and a long lease (142 years), allowing a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer.
Transport links are a clear strength. West Croydon Station and nearby tram services provide fast routes into Central London, and local buses connect to shops, schools and Purley Way retail. The fitted kitchen and double glazing provide immediate liveability while the Victorian mid-terrace character gives period appeal.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks factually: the flat is leasehold (buyers must confirm service charge and ground rent details), the street-level location sits in a ward with above-average crime and higher deprivation indices, and the original solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation. There is limited information on parking and some utility/service verifications are outstanding — a survey and solicitor enquiries are strongly advised.
For a first-time purchaser this maisonette presents an affordable entry into Croydon with good transport and local amenities nearby. Investors will find steady rental demand in the area, though returns should be assessed against potential refurbishment and management considerations.
