This bright one-bedroom apartment occupies a generous 546 sq ft and delivers penthouse-style, open-plan living with full-height windows and a private balcony. The layout feels larger than many one-bed flats locally, making it a comfortable first home or a convenient pied-à-terre. Secure allocated off-street parking and fast rail links from both East and South Croydon stations support easy commuting to central London and Gatwick.
Practical ownership benefits include a very long lease (circa 999 years), double glazing and a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom. The building runs on a community heating scheme and the apartment’s finish is contemporary and low-maintenance. Nearby amenities, cafes and restaurants are within easy walking distance, adding convenience for everyday living.
Buyers should note the material running costs and local context: a service charge around £3,360 per year and ground rent about £350 per year apply. The wider area has higher-than-average crime levels and pockets of deprivation, which may affect some buyers’ preferences and insurance costs. The property is leasehold and additional fees (lease packs, surveys) may be needed prior to purchase. Overall this is a well-sized, well-located one-bedroom with long-lease security and good transport links, suited to first-time buyers or commuters who prioritise space, light and convenience.
