A bright one-bedroom apartment offering practical, contemporary living just 0.2 miles from East Croydon Station. The open-plan living and kitchen area opens onto a private balcony, bringing natural light into the main living space and extending usable living space for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The modern kitchen and fitted bedroom storage make this a straightforward move-in option for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor.
Practical details are clear: the flat totals approximately 478 sq ft, sits in a purpose-built block constructed in the early 2000s, and benefits from double glazing and fast broadband. Main services are provided through a community heating and mains gas scheme. Regular commuters will value the 12-minute rail link to Central London and the wide range of nearby amenities, including supermarkets, bus routes and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools.
Buyers should note material running costs and tenure specifics. The flat is leasehold with about 82 years remaining, a ground rent of £250 pa, and a service charge of £4,020 pa (above average). The local area shows higher-than-average crime statistics and is otherwise in a very deprived area, which may affect resale or rental premiums. A straightforward internal inspection will confirm condition, but no flooding risk is recorded.
This property suits a first-time buyer seeking excellent transport links and a low-maintenance modern flat, or an investor after a well-located rental close to East Croydon. Factor in ongoing service charges and lease length when comparing returns and long-term plans.
