A bright, first-floor one-bedroom flat offering a practical open-plan layout and generous natural light from large windows. The reception room and integrated kitchen provide a comfortable living space for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The bedroom is a well-proportioned double and the bathroom is a modern three-piece suite.
Practical details support straightforward occupation: 102 years remain on the lease, service charge is £800 pa and ground rent £100 pa. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; double glazing is installed (pre-2002). The building dates from before 1900 and has solid brick walls with no installed cavity insulation (assumed), which may affect running costs and future improvement plans.
Location is a key strength — close to Whitehorse Road amenities and both West Croydon and Selhurst stations for commuting. Local schools include two Ofsted Outstanding/Good primaries and well-regarded secondary options. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, but the area has high crime levels and is described as very deprived, factors to weigh for occupation or lettings.
This flat suits a buyer seeking an affordable entry into Croydon with immediate usability and clear scope for targeted upgrades (insulation, modern glazing, cosmetic refresh) to improve comfort and long-term value. Investors should note the local rental market dynamics and area-wide deprivation alongside transport links.
