Chain-free long-lease apartment close to stations and Croydon amenities.
Top-floor larger-than-average one-bedroom apartment (approx. 713 sq ft)
A larger-than-average top-floor one-bedroom flat set within a red-brick period block on Brighton Road. The apartment benefits from a long lease (149 years), generous internal space for this typology (approx. 713 sq ft), and plentiful built-in storage, making it a practical first home or buy-to-let opportunity. It is offered chain free and sits close to South Croydon’s transport links, shops and leisure amenities.
The flat is in a traditional solid-brick building (circa 1900–1929) with character features to the exterior and modern, neutral interiors inside. Double glazing is already installed and mains gas central heating provides efficient warmth. The top-floor position brings good natural light and street-facing urban views but may include sloping ceilings in places.
Buyers should note a few material points: the building has solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation, so further thermal upgrades may be beneficial; there is a medium flood risk for the area; and there is no private garden. Ground rent is modest (£100) and council tax is described as affordable. The location’s wider socioeconomic indicators show higher deprivation but excellent transport, fast broadband and a lively town-centre offer.
This property will suit a pragmatic first-time buyer seeking a spacious one-bedroom in South Croydon or an investor wanting straightforward rental potential. Practical improvements such as insulation, cosmetic updating or an EPC review could enhance comfort and value over time.
