Share of freehold with 91 years remaining on lease
Separate kitchen; reception room with garden-facing window

Area shows above-average crime and local deprivation
This one-bedroom first-floor flat in Cavendish House is a straightforward purchase for a single buyer or couple seeking close links to East Croydon. The apartment offers a separate kitchen, a double bedroom with built-in cupboards and a reception room with garden views. Allocated off-street parking and no onward chain add practical appeal.
The building is modern (circa 1996–2002) with a well-kept communal garden and a brick façade; the flat benefits from double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The property sits on a 91-year lease with a share of freehold, making it easier to manage long-term ownership than a short lease buy.
Be realistic about immediate priorities: the living room decor is dated and shows wear, and the flat will suit buyers prepared to refresh finishes rather than those expecting a turnkey luxury fit-out. Broadband speeds are reported slow locally and the neighbourhood records above-average crime statistics — factors to weigh if working from home or prioritising peace of mind.
Location is the strong suit: a short walk to East Croydon station, Boxpark and central Croydon amenities, with excellent mobile signal and multiple local schools rated Good or Outstanding. The combination of transport links, allocated parking and no chain makes this an accessible option for first-time buyers or investors seeking a city-edge rental.
