Bright, modern one-bedroom flat near East Croydon transport links — ideal for first-time buyers.
High ceilings and large double-glazed bay windows
This newly refurbished ground-floor one-bedroom flat combines period charm with modern living in East Croydon. High ceilings and large double-glazed windows make the compact living space feel bright and airy, while oak-engineered flooring and contemporary fixtures deliver a clean, low-maintenance finish.
The kitchen is a standout: a sleek, integrated workspace with a central island that doubles as casual dining and storage — ideal for entertaining or working from home. Gas central heating and recent double glazing help keep running costs down in colder months.
Practicalities suit first-time buyers or professionals needing swift transport links; East Croydon station, Tramlink and multiple bus routes are within easy walking distance. The flat includes access to a private pebbled driveway for off-street parking (first-come, first-served).
Important facts and drawbacks: the property is compact at approximately 366 sq ft, so storage and space are limited. It’s a leasehold with about 120 years remaining, a service charge (circa £500) and a ground rent (£250). The immediate area records above-average crime and is relatively deprived — buyers should consider these local factors. The building’s original solid-brick walls likely have limited cavity insulation.
