A compact first-floor maisonette arranged over two storeys, offering two bedrooms, a modern fitted kitchen and a private rear garden. The property benefits from double glazing throughout, an en-block garage nearby and easy access to frequent buses into Croydon and local amenities. Nearby schools include several Good-rated primaries and independent options, making the area suitable for young families and first-time buyers.
Practical points: the flat is leasehold with electric storage heating and an EPC around band D. The building dates from the 1950–66 period and external walls are cavity construction with no confirmed added insulation, which could affect running costs and may benefit from improvement works. Council tax is described as affordable and the neighbourhood records low crime and fast broadband.
This is a modest-sized property (approximately 667 sq ft) that’s well maintained but compact—best suited to a first-time purchase or buy-to-let investor seeking a lettable two-bedroom close to transport. Be aware of the single bathroom and the reliance on electric heating when assessing ongoing costs and investment potential.
Opportunities include refreshing finishes, improving wall insulation where permitted, and upgrading heating to reduce energy bills. The private garden and nearby garage add practical value that many flats nearby lack, supporting both rental appeal and owner-occupier convenience.
