Chain-free sale with immediate vacant possession potential
Long lease (997 years) and low ground rent (£250 per year)
Loft included with STTP loft extension rights (subject to planning)
EPC rating C — energy efficient for its age
Private garden — rare for a first-floor flat
Heating via mains gas and room heaters, not full central heating
Solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) — potential insulation work
This fully refurbished two-bedroom first-floor flat offers ready-to-move-in living with genuine potential to add value. The bespoke living room centres on an attractive chimney-breast fireplace and opens onto a private garden — a rare combination for a flat in this area. With an EPC rating of C and fast broadband, the home is economical to run and well-suited for modern working patterns.
A major plus is the loft, included in the lease with STTP (subject to planning) loft extension rights — ideal for creating an extra bedroom, workspace or rental unit (subject to approvals). The flat comes chain-free and benefits from a very long lease (997 years) and modest ground rent, giving long-term security and straightforward ownership.
Practical points to note: heating is by mains gas and room heaters rather than a full central heating system, and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation, which may mean further insulation work to maximise efficiency and comfort. Double glazing is present but install date is unknown. These are manageable issues for a buyer happy to personalise and improve over time.
Located close to South Croydon, Sanderstead and Purley Oaks stations, this property suits commuters and families who value good schools nearby, including Whitgift School and several highly rated primaries. Overall, it’s a comfortable, characterful home with clear scope to increase space and value through a loft conversion.
