This newly refurbished one-bedroom apartment combines period character and modern finishes in a compact, commuter-friendly package. High ceilings and a bay-windowed open-plan living/kitchen make the most of the 343 sq ft internal space, while oak-style flooring and integrated appliances give a contemporary feel. The double bedroom opens directly onto a shared patio via French doors, adding useful outdoor access for an apartment of this size.
Practical details suit many first-time buyers: a long lease (121 years), below-average service charge (£480 pa) and reasonable ground rent (£250 pa). East Croydon Station is a short walk away, offering fast rail links into central London and Gatwick — a strong selling point for commuters and buy-to-let investors seeking rental demand.
Be clear on the limits: the flat is small and arranged on a lower level, so internal space is apartment-sized rather than flat-sized. Parking is communal and first-come, first-served rather than allocated, and the shared rear patio is modest. The local area scores as deprived with above-average crime statistics, so buyers should weigh neighbourhood factors alongside transport and convenience.
Overall this is a well-specified, low-maintenance starter home or rental unit for someone prioritising location and transport links over large living spaces. The combination of period charm, modern refurbishment and long lease gives immediate move-in appeal with practical running costs.
