This compact one-bedroom apartment offers a convenient, low-fuss base in the heart of Purley town centre, ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking immediate accessibility. The property’s private decked roof terrace provides rare outdoor space for the area and gives a clear vantage point across the town centre — a useful spot for evening relaxation or small-scale entertaining.
Practical strengths include a long lease (approximately 118 years), chain-free sale, built-in bedroom wardrobes, modern open-plan living with integrated kitchen appliances, and an EPC B rating. The flat is minutes (about 0.3 miles) from Purley train station with fast links into central London, and the immediate area is well served by shops, cafés and frequent bus routes.
Important downsides are the property’s small footprint (about 381 sq ft) and town-centre outlook onto retail streets, which may suit singles or couples but limits privacy and garden space. Service charge and ground rent apply (approx. £1,000 service charge; £200 ground rent reported). Crime levels in the immediate area are recorded as very high — prospective buyers should factor local security and insurance considerations into their decision.
There is some inconsistency in heating/fuel details between different descriptions (electric main fuel is stated, yet gas heating is also mentioned). Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent. Overall, this is a compact, well-presented apartment with rare private outdoor space for Purley centre living, best suited to buyers prioritising commute convenience and low-entry ownership over large living areas.
