Summary - 196, Bensham Manor Road CR7 7AW
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, modern one-bedroom with long lease and no service charges.
Long lease 125 years with no service charge
Step into a neatly presented one-bedroom first-floor flat that suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking low-running-cost city living. The apartment is finished in a neutral modern style, with a bright reception/dining room and large windows that let in natural light. A secure external storage unit and long lease (125 years) add practical value, and there are no ongoing service charges to budget for.
The accommodation is compact at about 383 sq ft and is best for a single occupant or a couple. Expect efficient, well-proportioned rooms rather than generous living space; one room has a lower ceiling which can make it feel cozier. There is no private outdoor space, and the flat occupies a mid-terrace block built in the 1950s–60s.
Practical considerations are clear: the building has cavity walls with no insulation assumed, so heating costs may be higher than newer homes; the main heating is gas boiler and radiators. Broadband speeds are average, mobile signal is excellent, and council tax is low. The area is a lively urban neighbourhood close to the High Street, shops and good local schools, though it sits within a more deprived local area and records average crime levels.
This property offers straightforward, affordable entry into Thornton Heath with minimal ongoing charges and secure storage — a sensible purchase for someone prioritising location and low fees while accepting compact living and potential energy-efficiency upgrades.
