Compact, modern flat with excellent transport links and parking.
Newly renovated one-bedroom conversion, ready to occupy
A newly renovated one-bedroom conversion offering efficient, contemporary living moments from East Croydon transport links. The open-plan living/kitchen benefits from a double-glazed bay window and integrated appliances, so the space feels bright and practical for a first home or buy-to-let. Oak-effect floors, modern bathroom and gas central heating mean move-in readiness with minimal immediate work required.
Practical positives include a long lease (121 years remaining), fast broadband, and a large private pebbled driveway with off-street parking on a first-come, first-served basis. The property’s compact 359 sq ft footprint and open-plan layout are well suited to single occupants or couples seeking low-maintenance urban living with excellent rail and tram connections to central London and Gatwick.
Buyers should note material facts: the flat is leasehold with a below-average service charge (£500) and a small ground rent (£250). The building dates from the 1930s–40s and has solid-brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation, which may affect heating costs long-term. The local area is classified as deprived and has above-average crime levels; purchasers seeking quieter suburban streets may prefer elsewhere.
Overall, this is a compact, stylish apartment aimed at first-time buyers or investors who prioritise location, connectivity and a ready-to-live-in finish. Factor in leasehold costs, potential insulation improvements and local crime statistics when assessing suitability.
