A spacious two-bedroom top-floor flat with clear potential for a buyer willing to refurbish and personalise. The layout provides a bright living room, separate kitchen and two well-proportioned bedrooms across approximately 768 sq ft — room sizes that are larger than many comparable inner‑urban flats.
Transport is a standout practical advantage: Thornton Heath station and local bus links are within easy reach, making commutes into Central London straightforward. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit home working, and a private garage is a useful rarity for the area.
Important cautions are presented up front. The property needs full modernisation and cosmetic updating throughout; renovation costs should be factored into any offer. The lease has only about 46 years remaining, which may prevent mortgage lenders from lending and will reduce marketability unless extended. The flat is being sold by auction via the Modern Method Of Auction — buyers must allow the auction timescale, pay a non‑refundable reservation fee, and review the buyer information pack and associated costs.
Service charge and modest ground rent apply (noted service charge £1,270pa, ground rent £25pa). The local area is assessed as very deprived and recorded as having above-average crime rates; these factors affect resale and rental demand and should be considered alongside the property’s investment potential.
