Summary - Flat 137, Tennyson Apartments, 1 Saffron Central Square CR0 2FX
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Bright modern two-bed with parking, concierge and gym near East Croydon station.
Chain-free tenth-floor apartment with long 972-year lease
This tenth-floor two-bedroom apartment in Saffron Central Square offers bright, contemporary living in the heart of East Croydon. The open-plan reception and private balcony capture high natural light, while a principal bedroom suite with dressing area and en-suite adds practical comfort for everyday urban living.
Residents benefit from practical extras: an allocated off-street parking space, on-site concierge, communal terrace and a residents’ gym. The property is chain free and comes with an exceptionally long lease (972 years), making it straightforward to purchase and secure long-term ownership.
The building specification is modern: double glazing, mains gas underfloor heating and a compact, efficient layout well suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking central Croydon location and transport links. Its average internal size (706 sq ft) fits city-centre expectations rather than generous family accommodation.
Notable costs and local context are important. Service charges are high (£5,400 pa) and ground rent (£500 pa) applies; council tax is above average. The area records above-average crime and sits in a relatively deprived ward, which may affect some buyers’ priorities. Overall, this is a convenient, contemporary city apartment with strong location and amenity appeal but with higher ongoing costs and urban-area considerations to weigh.
