Summary - JOHNSTONE COURT, 18 - 20 FLAT 5 WOODSTOCK ROAD CROYDON CR0 1JR
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact, well-connected apartment ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Share of freehold ownership included
Set on a tree-lined road just a short walk from East Croydon station, this purpose-built second-floor flat offers practical city living with strong transport links to central London and Gatwick. The bright reception room, two bedrooms and modern fitted kitchen make it ready to move into for first-time buyers or professionals seeking a compact, well-presented home. Share of freehold and an en bloc garage are notable extras not often found at this price point.
The apartment is modest in internal area (around 505 sq ft) so it suits buyers seeking a low-maintenance home or an income-producing buy-to-let. Double glazing and a modern tiled bathroom help keep upkeep straightforward. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and streaming.
There are important practical points to note: the building dates from the 1950s–1960s and external walls are cavity without confirmed insulation, which could affect heating costs. Main services are electric (air source heat pump/warm air) and the average service charge is around £3,000 a year. The surrounding area is described as very deprived with higher local crime levels, although the site benefits from well-kept communal gardens and imminent Croydon regeneration that may support long-term value.
This flat will appeal most to first-time buyers wanting a well-connected, low-fuss London base or investors after a lettable, transport-focused asset. Viewings are recommended to judge space and suitability given the compact footprint and service costs.
