This ground-floor, one-bedroom retirement flat in Catalina Court offers straightforward, low-effort living with views over communal gardens. The building provides age-restricted security and support features—entry phone, lift access, personal alarm and a resident lounge—designed for independent older occupants.
The flat is functional and comfortable: a bright living room, separate fitted kitchen, double glazing and electric storage heating. At around 513 sq ft the layout suits a single occupier or couple seeking a manageable home close to South Norwood’s shops and transport links, including the BR/Overground and local trams.
Important practical points are clear: the lease has c.62 years remaining, which may prevent many lenders from offering mortgages; prospective buyers should obtain solicitor and mortgage advice early. Service charges are approximately £3,134.40 per year and there is a small ground rent of £50 annually. The property is chain-free and keys are held for a quick viewing.
Note the building’s construction era (1967–75) and assumed lack of wall insulation; heating is by electric storage heaters and the EPC is D. The local area scores as very deprived with above-average crime—factors to weigh against the flat’s convenience, communal support and easy access to local amenities.
