Summary - 70 BYRD ROAD CRAWLEY RH11 8XG
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable two-bedroom flat with long lease and communal parking, close to amenities..
Refitted kitchen and bathroom
This two-bedroom first-floor flat offers practical, move-in-ready accommodation ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The property features a refitted kitchen and bathroom, double-aspect lounge/diner and double-glazed windows, all set within a 1970s brick apartment block. With 176 years remaining on the lease and a low ground rent, long-term ownership is straightforward.
Outside there is ample communal parking and shared lawned areas. Gas central heating and relatively recent double glazing keep running costs reasonable, while the service charge is modest at around £600 per year. The flat is roughly 659 sq ft — an average-sized apartment that makes efficient use of space.
Location is convenient for local amenities, schools and bus links, with several primary and secondary schools rated Good nearby. Council tax is described as cheap and mobile and broadband signals are strong, which is a practical benefit for working-from-home buyers.
Important considerations: the wider area shows higher crime levels and relative deprivation, which may affect community feel and resale value. The building dates from the late 1970s and has timber-frame walls (assumed), so buyers wanting a long-term family home should inspect the structure and communal maintenance history. Overall this flat represents an affordable city-edge entry point with clear rental or first-home potential, provided buyers accept the local context.
