Summary - Flat 18, 16 Wellesley Road, CROYDON CR0 2DD
3 bed 1 bath Apartment
Light-filled new-build flat with excellent transport links for first-time buyers.
50% shared ownership — price shown £252,500, full value £505,000
A bright, new-build three-bedroom apartment in central Croydon, offered as a 50% shared ownership opportunity (price shown £252,500; full market value £505,000). Positioned around a five-minute walk from East Croydon station with fast links into central London and a tram stop on the doorstep, this home suits commuters and first-time buyers seeking modern, low-maintenance living close to transport and shops.
The apartment has full-height external windows and a winter garden that flood the open-plan living space with light and city views. At 1,051 sq ft the layout feels generous for an apartment of this type; integrated modern finishes, fitted kitchens and the building’s communal mezzanine add to the contemporary feel. Off-street parking options are available, and connectivity is strong with fast broadband and an excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: this is a leasehold property sold via shared ownership, with a service charge of £4,824 per year (above average). The local area is classified as very deprived with a high crime rate, which may affect long-term desirability for some households. The apartment currently records one bathroom for three bedrooms — families may need to consider that constraint.
Overall, this is a practical route into a modern Croydon address for buyers prioritising transport links and light-filled living spaces while accepting the compromises of shared ownership, higher running costs, and local social challenges. Viewing is recommended for those who value location and new-build specification and who want a manageable step onto the property ladder.
