Summary - Flat 5, 53 Chatsworth Road CR0 1HF
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright one-bedroom with private garden and quick rail access to central London.
Bright open-plan living with breakfast bar
Light-filled Victorian conversion offering a bright, open-plan living space and a private garden — ideal for a first home. The living area features a breakfast bar, large double-glazed windows and wooden floors that create a welcoming social hub for cooking and relaxing. The bedroom’s bay window adds character and built-in storage helps maximise the 534 sq ft layout.
Practical comforts include a modern bathroom with a rainfall shower, mains gas boiler and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal — useful for remote working or commuting. East Croydon Station is within walking distance, giving quick rail access into central London, while Park Hill and Lloyd Park are nearby for outdoor space. Several highly rated local schools are within easy reach.
Be clear on the running costs and local context: the property is leasehold with 136 years remaining, a high annual service charge (around £1,800) and a relatively steep ground rent (£550). The neighbourhood shows higher crime statistics and is in a very deprived area classification, which may concern some buyers despite the strong transport links.
This flat suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a ready-to-live-in one-bedroom with character and outside space, who accepts higher ongoing charges and wants quick access to London rail links. Renovation potential is limited but the layout and garden make it a comfortable, well-connected city base.
