Set within a period conversion, this compact studio offers a practical, well-presented living space with a modern kitchenette and separate shower room. Natural light and a simple layout make it easy to maintain, ideal for someone seeking a low-cost city base or a rental opportunity.
The property is offered at auction with an opening bid of £100,000 on 17 December 2025; buyers should be prepared for the auction process and to consult the legal pack for tenancy details. The flat is leasehold and forms part of a detached building constructed circa 1900–1929, so prospective purchasers should review service charges and lease length.
Practical drawbacks include slow broadband speeds, an EPC rating of C, and solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation. The area records above-average crime rates, so purchasers should consider security measures. Council tax is very cheap, which helps running costs.
This studio suits a first-time buyer or investor looking for a straightforward, low-maintenance property close to transport and local amenities. With modest cosmetic updates and attention to energy improvements, it offers short-term rental potential or an affordable entry into the Croydon market.
