Summary - 43 BUXTON ROAD, THORNTON HEATH CR7 7HJ
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Period character with modern open-plan living and private garden — no onward chain.
Ground-floor two-bedroom flat, approx. 697 sq ft
A bright, ground-floor two-bedroom flat that pairs period character with a modern open-plan kitchen and private rear garden. The airy reception and kitchen flow to bi-folding doors and a versatile outbuilding at the garden end, useful for storage or a small home office.
Practical strengths include a long share-of-freehold lease (approx. 141 years), double glazing (installed before 2002), mains gas heating with radiator boiler, and no flooding risk. At about 697 sq ft the accommodation feels spacious for a ground-floor flat, suitable for first-time buyers, downsizers or landlords seeking a lettable two-bed in a major-conurbation location.
Be honest about local context: the area scores as deprived with average crime levels and a multicultural, newly arrived population — factors that influence resale and rental demand. The building dates from 1900–1929 and has solid brick walls with no known insulation, so future energy upgrades (wall insulation, window replacement) could improve comfort and running costs.
Positioned close to Thornton Heath station, bus links and a wide range of shops, schools (several rated Good or Outstanding nearby) and local services, the flat offers commuter convenience and local amenities on the doorstep. No onward chain makes for a straightforward purchase route.
