Summary - Saffron Central Square, Central Croydon, Croydon, CR0 CR0 2FR
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Ideal first-home or buy-to-let near East Croydon station and town centre amenities.
Third-floor one-bedroom with private balcony
Set on the third floor of a modern development in central Croydon, this one-bedroom apartment offers an open-plan living space with integrated kitchen and a private balcony. The layout gives clear zones for dining and relaxation, while fitted wardrobes in the bedroom add useful storage. A concierge service and recent construction finish provide a low-maintenance city base close to shops and transport.
Practical strengths include an unusually long lease (985 years), double glazing and fast broadband/mobile reception. East Croydon station and local amenities are within easy walking distance, making the flat well placed for commuting, work and leisure. The property is presented in contemporary style and will suit buyers wanting a ready-to-move-in urban home or a straightforward rental proposition.
Be aware of the running costs and local context. The annual service charge is approx. £3,884 with a small ground rent of £250. Heating is via a community scheme rather than an individual boiler, and the wider area records above-average crime and higher deprivation indicators. The apartment is modest in size (approximately 462 sq ft), so buyers needing extra space should note limited room count.
Overall, this compact apartment delivers a low-maintenance central Croydon address with strong transport links and a long lease. It is a practical choice for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor seeking a modern, city-centre flat, provided the service charge, community heating arrangement and local area factors are acceptable.
