This modern two-double apartment in Saffron Central Square offers practical city living with strong commuter appeal. Set on the 1st floor and facing a landscaped central courtyard, the apartment delivers an open-plan living/kitchen, private balcony and two double bedrooms each with an en-suite — a rare layout that suits sharers, investors or first-time buyers.

Be clear on the running costs and local context: this is a leasehold flat with c.986 years remaining and a ground rent of £350 (average). Heating is via a community scheme and wider service charges are likely; these should be checked before committing. The area is inner-city cosmopolitan but records above-average crime and local deprivation, which may concern families or those seeking a quieter suburb.
Transport is a major strength: East and West Croydon stations are within minutes, with frequent services into London and an express to Gatwick — strong positives for commuters and short-term rental demand. The immediate neighbourhood offers leisure and nightlife at Boxpark and easy access to Croydon town centre shops, supporting rental appeal and day-to-day convenience.
