This bright top-floor two-bedroom flat offers a practical first home or buy-to-let in central Croydon. The living/dining room and separate fitted kitchen provide sensible, flexible space across about 693 sq ft; two double bedrooms suit sharers or a young family. Communal gardens, off-street parking and quick walking access to West Croydon station add everyday convenience.
The building dates from the 1930s and has solid brick walls with no known cavity insulation, so heating costs and cold-bridge effects may be higher than modern standards. The property is leasehold and has an average service charge of around £3,500 per year; prospective buyers should check lease length and service charge inclusions before committing.
Sold with no onward chain and described as chain-free, the flat needs largely cosmetic updating rather than structural work. It benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and fast broadband—useful for home working. Local schools range from Outstanding to Good and the neighbourhood offers plentiful shops, takeaways and community amenities.
Overall this is a functional, well-located apartment that will appeal to first-time buyers and small-scale investors who want straightforward access to transport and town-centre facilities. Budget for ongoing service charges, potential insulation improvements and standard cosmetic refurbishment to personalise the space.
