Summary - Flat 3, 50 Sydenham Rd CR0 2EF
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact Victorian one-bed, short walk to East Croydon — ideal commuter starter.
Upper ground floor one-bedroom apartment, 355 sq ft total
Set on the upper ground floor of a handsome Victorian conversion, this well-presented one-bedroom apartment offers a bright, modern living space ideal for first-time buyers or commuters. The open-plan reception and fitted kitchen benefits from high ceilings and contemporary finishes, creating an airy feel despite the compact overall footprint. East Croydon Station is a short walk away, giving fast links to Central London and Gatwick — a genuine commuter advantage.
Practical features include a large double bedroom, a modern fully fitted bathroom, double glazing fitted since 2002, and reliable mains gas heating via boiler and radiators. Outside there is a communal rear garden for informal use and an off-street parking space available on a first-come, first-served basis — useful in a central location but not guaranteed.
Important points to note: the apartment totals around 355 sq ft, so living space is compact and best suited to a single occupant or couple. The building is a pre-1900 solid brick construction with assumed no wall insulation, which may mean higher heating costs and possible future retrofit works. The local area has above-average crime levels and broader signs of deprivation, which prospective buyers should consider alongside the excellent transport and amenity links.
Financially the property is straightforward: a long lease of about 120 years remains, low-ish service charge (£480) and a modest ground rent (£250). Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and streaming. Overall this is a commuter-friendly, move-in-ready one-bedroom with period character and sensible running costs, best suited to buyers prioritising location and transport over generous internal space.
