This bright second-floor one-bedroom flat sits in the heart of Croydon, minutes from East and West Croydon stations and a wide range of shops and amenities. The reception room feels spacious for the size, complemented by a modern open-plan kitchen with built-in appliances and wood flooring. Double glazing installed after 2002 helps with noise and heat retention.
The double bedroom is generously sized and the three-piece bathroom is functional. The flat totals about 456 sq ft — average-sized for a city one-bed — and will suit a first-time buyer or an investor seeking a well-located rental close to transport links and local services.
Be clear about the main drawbacks: the building dates from 1950–1966 with solid brick walls assumed to lack cavity insulation, and heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system. The area records very high crime and is classified as very deprived, which will affect resale and rental perceptions. Broadband speeds are average.
On the positive side, the location offers excellent mobile signal, quick access to public transport, and plentiful local amenities including shops, leisure and eateries. The leasehold tenure should be checked for length and service charges before committing, and some buyers may want to budget for improved heating and insulating works.
