Well-located starter home with parking and communal garden near major stations.
Chain-free one-bedroom first-floor flat with generous natural light
Light-filled and conveniently located, this chain-free one-bedroom first-floor flat sits in a converted Victorian semi on Birdhurst Rise, moments from South Croydon and East Croydon stations. Large windows and high ceilings create an airy living room and a generously proportioned double bedroom. The separate fitted kitchen and a modern bathroom complete a sensible layout for everyday living.
Practical benefits include allocated off-street parking, access to a communal rear garden and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. At about 548 sq ft the apartment is an average-sized, low-maintenance home ideal for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor seeking reliable rental demand close to excellent transport links and local amenities.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with c.87 years remaining and an annual service charge around £2,000 plus a small ground rent of £75. The building’s original solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, which could mean higher heating costs and future retrofit work if improved efficiency is desired. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent.
Overall this flat offers immediate move-in convenience and strong location appeal, balanced by lease length and running-cost considerations. It suits someone looking for a well-connected starter home or an investment with straightforward management and good tenant demand potential.
