A bright, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment arranged in a well-kept 1960s development on a quiet residential road. The open-plan kitchen/living room features a modern galley kitchen and a full-width window that brings good natural light into the principal living space. The double bedroom is dual-aspect and the bathroom is a contemporary three-piece suite; the flat is presented ready to move into.
Practical benefits include a long lease of approximately 126 years, communal garden and off-street parking. Waddon train station is around 0.2 miles away and central Croydon’s shops and commuter links are within easy reach, making the flat convenient for daily travel and local amenities.
Notable costs and limitations are clear: the property is leasehold with an average annual service charge of about £1,200 and moderate council tax. The brick block dates from the 1950s–60s, the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, and the double glazing was installed before 2002—items that may affect long-term energy performance. Crime levels in the area are above average and broadband speeds are only average.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking a ready-to-live-in city base or an investor looking for a lettable one-bed close to transport. The long lease and functional layout are strong practical advantages, while potential buyers should factor running costs, energy efficiency improvements and local safety statistics into their plans.
