A bright split-level studio on the second/attic floors, offered chain free with a long 106-year lease. The open-plan living/sleeping area makes efficient use of 353 sqft, and a modern fitted kitchen with dining space and a smart white-suite bathroom mean the flat is move-in ready for many buyers.
Practical benefits include communal parking, a shared garden, security entry phone and double glazing. Thornton Heath station is within walking distance, with local shops, buses and Grangewood Park close by — a convenient pick for commuters and those seeking local amenities.
Be candid about constraints: the apartment is small and has angled ceilings in the loft bedroom, which reduce usable headroom. The building shows typical period wear (peeling paint, older windows) and the construction details suggest timber frame with assumed lack of insulation, so future owners may want to budget for thermal upgrades. The area ranks as deprived and recorded above-average crime, which may affect some buyers' priorities.
This property suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable London entry point or an investor targeting straightforward lettings. Service charge and ground rent are modest, but factor in potential maintenance and improvement costs if you wish to enhance comfort or energy efficiency.
