Set on the second floor of a purpose-built block on Croydon Road, this chain-free two-bedroom apartment suits first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking straightforward transport links and local amenities. The home offers two double bedrooms, two bathrooms including an en-suite, and a bright reception room that opens onto a private balcony. An allocated off-street parking space and gated entry add practical convenience.
The layout is functional and ready to occupy, with a modern fitted kitchen and built-in storage in the hallway and master bedroom. The property benefits from a long lease (133 years) and a manageable ground rent, making it a realistic purchase without immediate major legal or tenure concerns.
Notable running costs and constraints are clear: main heating is electric (room heaters), the EPC is rated D, and service charges average £2,250 per year with a small ground rent of £250. The apartment faces a main road and has limited outdoor space beyond the balcony, and there is a medium flood risk to be considered by buyers in the area.
Positioned moments from Elmers End Tramlink and rail services to central London, plus Beckenham High Street amenities and several well-rated primary schools, this flat offers commuter convenience and rental appeal. It presents sensible scope for cosmetic updating to improve energy performance and personal comfort.
