Summary - Cabot Close, Croydon, CR0 CR0 4FP
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Ideal starter home close to park and excellent tram and rail links for commuters.
Private balcony with open-plan reception/kitchen space
Next to Wandle Park Tram Stop — strong commuter links
Long lease (142 years) provides ownership security
Service charge approx. £2,764 p.a.; budget accordingly
Located in a deprived area with higher-than-average crime rates
Community heating scheme — limited individual heating control
622 sqft total; suited to single occupant or couple
Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal throughout
Set on the first floor of a modern development, this one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, well-presented home with private balcony and open-plan living. The property benefits from excellent transport links — it sits next to Wandle Park Tram Stop with fast connections to East Croydon, Wimbledon and central London — making it a practical choice for commuters or students.
The long lease (142 years remaining) and affordable council tax are strong practical advantages, alongside fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The apartment is part of a managed scheme with a secure entry-phone system and community heating; these reduce maintenance chores but mean less direct control over heating choices.
Buyers should note clear downsides: the area records higher-than-average crime and sits in a deprived ward, and the annual service charge (around £2,764) is a material cost to factor in. The flat is average-sized (about 622 sq ft) and best suited to a single occupant or couple seeking a central, low-upkeep base rather than a large family home.
Overall, this is a practical, move-in-ready option for a first-time buyer or investor who prioritises transport access, park proximity and a long lease, while accepting higher local crime statistics and ongoing service charges.
