This ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette offers a compact, well-presented home close to Purley town centre and transport links. The layout includes a separate kitchen, living room and two double bedrooms, making it suitable for first-time buyers or those looking to downsize into a manageable, low-stairs property.
Practical strengths include off-street resident parking, a very long lease (909 years) and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. The flat is in good decorative order with modern kitchen fittings and double glazing installed post-2002, so immediate major works are unlikely.
Notable running costs and constraints are the service charge (around £2,700pa) and a small annual ground rent (£12.60). The property is modest in size (about 560 sq ft) and has an EPC rating of D. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, which could mean higher heating costs unless upgraded.
Location is a clear selling point: about 0.5 miles to Purley station with direct trains to central London, nearby schools rated Good, local shops and green spaces within walking distance. Buyers should weigh the apartment’s compact footprint and service charges against the convenience and long lease offered.
