This well-presented one-bedroom second-floor flat sits in a sought-after East Croydon development, a short walk from East Croydon station, Tramlink and Boxpark. The apartment offers a bright reception room, separate fitted kitchen, double glazing and gas central heating — practical features for everyday urban living.
The accommodation is compact and efficiently planned, with useful inbuilt storage and lift access to the block. Neutral contemporary finishes mean the flat is move-in ready for a single buyer or couple, and also works as a straightforward buy-to-let with good transport links to Central London and Gatwick.
Be clear on the running costs and tenure: the property is leasehold with 87 years remaining, an average annual service charge around £1,933 and a small ground rent of £200. The wider area scores as inner-city cosmopolitan but has high crime levels and significant deprivation, which may concern some buyers and will affect long-term desirability for some tenants.
Overall this is a practical, well-located one-bedroom that suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking low-maintenance urban accommodation. Viewings will show how the apartment maximises its modest footprint, but buyers sensitive to service charges, lease length or local crime statistics should factor those into their decision.
