This eleventh-floor, one-bedroom apartment in Leon House offers bright, modern living in the heart of Croydon. The open-plan reception and sleek kitchen feel generous for the size, and large windows flood the space with natural light. A double bedroom with a dressing room and en-suite creates a comfortable private suite. Built-in storage and a residents’ sky garden add practical convenience and pleasant outdoor space above the street.
Practical building features include lift access, an onsite concierge with out-of-hours service, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal—useful for home working and commuters. East Croydon station and Boxpark are within easy walking distance, placing restaurants, cultural venues and shops moments away. The 192-year lease and modest ground rent of £250 pa are favourable for a new-build leasehold purchase.
Buyers should be aware of local realities: the wider area is classified as deprived with a relatively high crime rate. The property’s main heating is electric underfloor heating, which can mean higher running costs than gas in some tariffs. As a compact 560 sq ft flat, it suits someone seeking a low-maintenance city base rather than larger-family accommodation.
For a first-time buyer or investor wanting a modern, low-upkeep apartment close to transport and Croydon’s amenities, this flat represents accessible entry into the area. It delivers contemporary specification and concierge-style living, while requiring buyers to factor in local area conditions and future energy costs when budgeting.
