This chain-free, split-level two-bedroom flat occupies around 700 sqft in Fitzroy Court, a high-density 1960s development close to East and West Croydon stations. The property offers practical central living for a first-time buyer seeking spacious layout and private parking without stampede-level pricing. The mezzanine living space and separate kitchen diner create a versatile footprint for everyday living and entertaining.
Practical features include an en-suite to the main bedroom, a second bathroom, concierge service and an allocated off-street parking space. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, useful for home working or streaming. The 97 years remaining on the lease and modest ground rent (£100) give short-to-medium term security for ownership and letting potential.
Buyers should factor in the building’s age and condition: the block is a mid-20th century concrete construction with low ceilings in places and an EPC rating of E. Heating relies on electric room heaters, which are less efficient and may raise running costs. The area records higher crime and sits within a very deprived local authority area, which can affect perception, insurance and resale values.
Overall, this flat is best suited to buyers seeking affordable entry into Croydon with room to add value through upgrading heating, energy efficiency and internal finishes. It also offers reasonable rental potential for investors, but budget realistically for modernisation and take local area considerations into account.
