Easy commute, shops nearby — practical home or rental opportunity.
Own front door; first-floor maisonette layout
This spacious one-bedroom first-floor maisonette offers a practical layout and its own front door, ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The separate lounge and kitchen make entertaining straightforward, while the bedroom and bathroom complete a comfortable footprint of about 496 sq ft. The property benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing already installed.
Location is a strong selling point: shops, cafes and local amenities are on the doorstep and commuter links are excellent for travel into central Croydon and London. Several nearby primary and secondary schools have good Ofsted ratings, adding appeal for young families and professional renters.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with 104 years remaining and a modest ground rent of £125 per year. The building dates from the 1930s–1940s and has solid brick walls with no cavity insulation assumed; double glazing predates 2002. The area has above-average crime and is within a very deprived neighbourhood classification, which may affect long-term capital growth and rental demand.
Overall, the flat represents low-entry ownership with clear refurbishment potential. It suits someone wanting a commuter base they can personalise, or an investor seeking a straightforward rental let — provided the leasehold and local-area factors are acceptable.
