Summary - Godstone Road, CR8 CR8 2AN
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright period flat with private garden and strong local schools nearby.
Share of freehold with 995-year lease remaining
Set within a characterful Edwardian semi, this two-bedroom flat offers bright living spaces and a private rear garden, an uncommon find for flats in the area. High ceilings and bay windows deliver generous natural light; the living room and both bedrooms are well proportioned for a property of this size.
Ownership is attractive: a 995-year lease with share of freehold, and no fixed ongoing service charge (buildings insurance c. £120pa). Practical features include double glazing (installation date unknown), mains gas boiler and radiators, fast broadband and easy access to commuter links — a practical base for professionals or first-time buyers.
The building dates from before 1900 and has solid brick walls likely without internal insulation, so improving thermal efficiency could be worthwhile. The kitchen is traditional and functional; the property will suit buyers who want a well-located home with scope to modernise rather than a fully renovated turnkey flat.
Local amenities, strong schools nearby and a quiet residential street make this a sensible choice for small families or investors targeting reliable rental demand. Note the single bathroom and average overall size — good value for location and long leasehold security, with clear potential from modest updating.
