This sixteenth‑floor, one‑bed apartment offers bright, open‑plan living with expansive city views — ideal for a first‑time buyer seeking central Croydon convenience. The well‑proportioned reception/kitchen and separate dressing area make efficient use of the 549 sq ft footprint, while full‑height windows and contemporary finishes create a light, modern home.
The building adds practical lifestyle benefits: a communal sky garden with far‑reaching views, residents’ lounge, co‑working space with free Wi‑Fi and a concierge service for added security and convenience. East Croydon station, Tramlink and the town centre’s shops, bars and restaurants are all within easy walking distance, supporting strong rental and resale demand.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the property is leasehold (117 years remaining) with an annual service charge of £250 and electric underfloor heating — electricity is the main fuel and could mean higher running costs. The local area records higher crime and is classified as deprived, which may affect long‑term desirability for some purchasers.
Overall this apartment suits a buyer who values transport links, modern communal amenities and city views, and who is comfortable with an urban location and electric heating. It also presents straightforward buy‑to‑let potential given location and facilities, though buyers should factor area indicators into their decision.
