A compact, affordable first-floor studio in South Croydon offered chain-free — a straightforward entry point to London property ownership. The open-plan main room with a front bay window brings natural light into the living and kitchen area, while gas central heating and double glazing provide everyday comfort. The flat is within walking distance of South Croydon station and local shops, making commuting and day-to-day life convenient.
At about 360 sq ft the layout suits a single buyer or couple seeking a low-maintenance home or buy-to-let opportunity. The property has period building character externally but internally shows dated fittings and will reward modest updating to maximise comfort and rental/ resale appeal. The shower room is functional and the kitchen includes basic fitted units and space for appliances.
Important practical points are clear: the lease has approximately 88 years remaining, there is an annual service charge of about £1,200 and ground rent of £250. The building uses solid brick construction (likely without modern cavity insulation) which may influence future insulation or renovation plans. Prospective buyers should factor in lease length and running costs when budgeting and obtain solicitor and surveyor advice.
Overall this studio is best suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking an inexpensive Croydon base with good transport links and short-term potential from straightforward cosmetic improvements.
