Set on Kingsdown Avenue, this first-floor two-bedroom leasehold flat offers bright, larger-than-average rooms and elevated, uninterrupted views across Sanderstead and South Croydon. The layout suits couples, first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a well-located home with communal gardens and non-allocated off-street parking. Transport links are a strong selling point — Purley Oaks and Sanderstead stations are walkable with direct services to London Bridge, Victoria and East Croydon.
The building dates from the mid-20th century and the flat retains some original fittings. The kitchen is dated and will likely need updating; that presents scope to add value through refurbishment. The property benefits from double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas central heating and no identified flood risk. Communal areas are typical for this style of block and the service charge is stated as £800 per year, with a small ground rent of £10.
Important for buyers: the sale is by Modern Auction. There is an undisclosed reserve price, and successful buyers must pay a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, min. £6,600) plus other auction-related costs. The lease has approximately 82 years remaining — sufficient for purchase but worth checking mortgage and remortgage implications. Prospective purchasers should review the Buyer Information Pack and commission their own surveys before bidding.
In short, this is a well-situated, value-oriented two-bedroom flat with good commuter access and refurbishment potential. It will suit someone happy to buy at auction who wants straightforward updating opportunities and communal outdoor space without immediate major structural issues reported.
