Share of freehold with 982 years remaining
Light-filled rooms and period character meet practical commuter reach in this two-bedroom conversion on Dale Road. The apartment occupies the first and second floors of a late-Victorian/Edwardian semi and offers flexible living: two bedrooms or two reception rooms depending on your needs. A large bay window brightens the main living space and the layout includes a fitted kitchen, bathroom and separate WC. A private section of the rear garden and off-street parking for one car are useful extras rarely found at this price.
Long leasehold security (share of freehold with 982 years remaining) and a chain-free sale make the purchase straightforward for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor. The flat is about a quarter-mile from Purley town centre and within easy walking distance of Purley mainline station, which provides fast links to Victoria and London Bridge. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent — a practical plus for remote working.
There are some material points to note: the building is solid-brick and likely lacks wall insulation, and the interior would benefit from cosmetic modernisation in places. Flooding risk is medium for the area and local crime levels are reported as very high; these are important considerations for buyers and insurers. The property is average in overall size (about 833 sq ft) and presents a sensible, affordable entry into Purley with clear potential to improve value through selective updating.
In short, this conversion flat suits someone seeking a well-located, characterful home with long lease security and low immediate buying friction, or an investor wanting a straightforward letting proposition close to transport and town amenities. Expect a practical purchase rather than a turnkey, high-spec finish.
