Long lease: 115 years remaining
This well-presented two-bedroom ground-floor flat offers bright, modern living with a private garden and a long 115-year lease. Recently renovated throughout, the apartment has a neutral finish, a separate high-gloss kitchen and a spacious reception room that opens onto the garden — a rare feature for a ground-floor flat in this area.
Positioned for convenience, the property is a short walk from Purley Oaks and Sanderstead stations with regular buses to Croydon and easy links into Central London. Local shops, cafés and a strong cluster of schools (including highly rated options) make this a practical choice for first-time buyers or investors seeking reliable rental demand in an established family area.
Running costs are modest: a below-average service charge (£500) and small ground rent (£100). Note the property is leasehold and sits on solid brick construction (original build circa 1900–1929) with no confirmed wall insulation. There is a medium flooding risk in the area — factor this into insurance and future maintenance planning.
Overall this flat combines immediate move-in condition, outside space and transport convenience. It suits buyers wanting a low-maintenance starter home or an investment with long-lease security, but purchasers should budget for potential insulation upgrades and check flood-cover implications.
