This spacious one-bedroom ground-floor apartment occupies a converted semi-detached building in Purley, offered with private rear garden, allocated off-street parking and useful basement storage. At approximately 722 sq ft the flat feels larger than typical one-beds: an open-plan layout, large lounge with feature fireplace and a separate dining area give practical living space for everyday life and home working.
The property benefits from a long lease (114 years), share of freehold and below-average service charge (£648), with fast broadband, good mobile signal and very low local crime. It’s an easy walk to Purley station and local amenities, and local schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, making it suitable for professionals, first-time buyers and downsizers.
Notable points to verify: this is a converted ground-floor flat — buyers must confirm planning/building regulation consents for the conversion. The building dates from 1930–49 and external cavity walls are assumed uninsulated; buyers should factor possible insulation or retrofit costs. The property is presented in good condition throughout, but basement storage and ground-floor status mean damp checks are sensible before purchase.
Overall this is a roomy, well-located flat offering private outdoor space, parking and long lease security — a versatile home that rewards modest updating and verification of conversion paperwork.
