Bright, second-floor one-bedroom apartment in a purpose-built over-55s block, offering straightforward comfort and convenient Purley living. The flat has a spacious living area, communal gardens, lift access and residents' parking — practical features for those seeking low-maintenance retirement accommodation near shops and transport.
On-site amenities include a communal lounge, laundry room and a warden with a 24-hour care line, providing reassurance and a community feel. The building’s communal grounds and off-street parking add everyday convenience, and the mainline station and local shops are an easy walk away.
Buyers should note several important considerations: the lease has 57 years remaining, which may limit mortgage options and affect valuation. The service charge is £3,907 per year and broadband speeds are reported as very slow. There is a medium flood risk for the area. These are material factors for financing, resale and living arrangements.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking a settled, low-effort home in Purley’s town centre with on-site support. It offers clear potential for someone who prioritises location, communal facilities and security, but who is comfortable managing lease-length and service-charge implications.
