This compact upper-ground one-bedroom apartment offers efficient, well-presented city living just minutes from Croydon High Street and East Croydon station. The open-plan reception and kitchen make the most of the 355 sq ft layout, while a large double bedroom and two bathrooms provide flexibility for singles or couples. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and plentiful local amenities suit modern working lifestyles.
Set in a Victorian building with high ceilings and bay windows, the flat combines period character with contemporary finishes and double glazing. The lease is long (around 120 years) and service charges are below average, making the tenure straightforward for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. Communal rear garden and off-street parking (first-come, first-served) add useful outside space and convenience.
Buyers should note the property is small and set in an area with above-average crime and wider local deprivation; viewings should consider personal security and neighbourhood fit. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so heating costs may be higher than modern builds despite mains gas central heating. Ground rent is modest and service charges are reasonable, but any purchaser should check the lease pack and communal maintenance history before committing.
