A spacious ground-floor conversion in central Croydon, this one-bedroom flat offers practical city living with a private decked garden and long lease (circa 110 years). The layout makes efficient use of its 444 sq ft, with a fitted kitchen and a medium-sized living room suitable for an individual or couple.
The property is competitively priced and chain-free, appealing to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking immediate rental potential. Low service charges and easy access to East and South Croydon stations add to the convenience and running-cost advantages.
Buyers should note clear drawbacks: the building dates from 1900–1929 and likely has solid brick walls without insulation, double glazing installed before 2002, and the flat will benefit from modernization. The area records very high crime and very high deprivation levels, and there is a medium flooding risk — factors that will affect suitability and insurance costs.
Practical details: the tenure is leasehold with about 108–110 years remaining, service charge around £200 (below average), and ground rent approximately £350. Heating is via a mains-gas community scheme. For those prepared to update finishes and consider neighbourhood factors, the flat represents affordable central Croydon access and good transport links.
