A larger two-bedroom first-floor apartment within a purpose-built retirement complex, arranged for comfortable single-floor living. The layout includes a spacious lounge/dining room, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms (one en-suite) and a separate bathroom — all in an average-sized 813 sq ft footprint. Residents benefit from communal areas: lounge with conservatory, laundry room, well-kept grounds, lift access and a residents’ house manager with 24-hour care link.
Practical positives include a long lease (999 years from 1992), an en-bloc garage, residents’ parking bays and very low local crime. The location on Wickham Road provides nearby shops, cafes and regular buses to Croydon, West Wickham and Bromley; East Croydon rail services are around three miles away for wider connections.
Notable costs and constraints to consider: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £3,431 and above-average council tax. Heating is by electric storage heaters and main fuel is electricity (no gas), and broadband speeds are reported slow. The sale will be by the Modern Method of Auction — buyers must pay a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) and complete within the auction timescale, so allow for those extra fees and requirements.
This flat will suit an over-55 buyer seeking low-stairs, community-focused living with onsite support and private parking. It offers ready-to-live-in communal facilities but limited modernisation in parts (kitchen dated to 1980s) and modest running costs should be factored into your budget.
