Set within a Victorian mid-terrace, this first-floor one-bedroom conversion offers generous floor space (approx. 688 sq ft) and period character ready for a sympathetic update. High ceilings, large windows and a separate, well-sized kitchen create a bright, flexible layout that will suit a single buyer or investor seeking a value-add project. The flat includes a private front door, sheltered rear garden and an off-street parking space — uncommon extras for conversion flats in this area.
Location is a key asset: 0.3 miles from South Croydon station and under a mile from East Croydon’s major transport hub, making commuting straightforward. Local amenities, colleges and a mix of independent and outstanding primary schools are within easy reach. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and mains gas heating with double glazing are already in place.
Buyers should be aware of significant constraints: the lease has around 61 years remaining, which will likely restrict mortgage availability and may require a lease extension (sold separately subject to statutory process). The property is offered subject to Probate and requires renovation throughout, so budget and timing for works must be factored in. EPC grade D and solid brick walls (likely no insulation) mean some energy-efficiency improvements will be needed.
This home will appeal to cash buyers, investors able to manage a lease-extension process, or buyers prepared to undertake renovation and accept the probate timetable. It presents clear potential to create a comfortable, characterful home in a well-connected location, but the short lease and required works are material issues that affect financeability and cost.
