Summary - Flat 21, Connaught Towers 682-684, London Road CR7 7HU
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable first-time buy near Thornton Heath station and strong local schools.
Two double bedrooms within a gated development
This compact two-double-bedroom flat sits within a gated development on London Road, a short walk from Thornton Heath station. The layout includes a lounge/diner, separate kitchen and a modern bathroom; underfloor heating and double glazing were installed post-2002. At about 553 sq ft the property is best suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a well-connected, low-maintenance city base.
The home’s strengths are its location and practical fittings: excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and direct access to local amenities, shops and public transport. Several highly rated primary and secondary schools are nearby, making the flat appealing to young families beginning their search or buyers prioritising rental demand.
Buyers should note the flat is a basement apartment with a low ceiling and compact rooms, which limits natural light and perceived space. The immediate area scores high for crime and is very deprived, factors that can affect resale value and rental attractiveness. The property is leasehold — confirm remaining term and service charges before committing.
Overall this is a pragmatic, affordable entry into the CR7 market. It offers sensible heating and glazing upgrades already in place, close commuter links and strong local rental demand, but requires realistic expectations about internal space, light and neighbourhood factors.
