This compact one-bedroom ground-floor flat converts Victorian character into a modern, efficient home. At 354 sq ft the open-plan living/kitchen makes sensible use of space, high ceilings and a double‑glazed bay window bring light and an airy feel. A long 999‑year lease and below‑average service charge provide ownership certainty.
Practical benefits suit a first‑time buyer: off‑street communal parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus direct walking links to East Croydon station and Tramlink for quick journeys into central London and Gatwick. The property has gas central heating, recent double glazing and contemporary fitted kitchen and bathroom — ready to move into.
Be clear about limitations: the flat is small and better for single occupancy or couples rather than families. The building’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so heating costs could be higher than modern standards unless improved. The surrounding area is relatively deprived and local crime levels are above average; buyers should visit at different times to assess local feel.
Overall this apartment offers an affordable route into Croydon with strong transport links, low immediate running costs (cheap council tax, modest service charge) and clear potential to personalise or upgrade insulation and finishes over time.
