This bright one-bedroom garden conversion sits a short walk from East Croydon station, offering easy links across London and a handy local shopping centre. The flat is presented in good order with a modern kitchen and bathroom, double glazing (installed before 2002) and a gas boiler serving radiators. A decked front area, lawned rear garden and a useful outbuilding are included — practical extras for storage or a Home-Office setup.
The accommodation is compact and efficient, around 489 sq ft, suited to a first-time buyer or someone seeking an affordable base close to transport. The long lease (approximately 142 years) and share of freehold provide security and simplicity compared with short-lease alternatives. EPC rating C and low council tax band B help running costs.
Buyers should note material facts: the building is a circa 1900–1929 solid-brick conversion, so external walls likely lack cavity insulation; this can affect heat retention. Ceilings are described as low in parts and the property is an inner-city location with above-average local crime statistics — factors to consider for comfort and security decisions. Overall, this is a well-presented, convenient flat with outdoor space and clear potential for someone prioritising transport links and a private garden.
