A ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette offered chain-free with its own front door and long lease. The compact 420 sq ft layout includes an entrance hall, reception room with bay window, double bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and small rear garden — practical basics for a first home or rental unit.
The property is a renovation project requiring full refurbishment: visible damp and water damage, dated fixtures, and assumed solid brick walls with no insulation. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; glazing is double but install date is unknown. These issues mean immediate works and budget for repairs are necessary, but they also present scope to add value with modernisation.
Located close to Central Croydon, Therapia Tram Stop and local shops, the maisonette benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Council tax is low and the lease is long (approx. 867 years), with a small ground rent of £108 per year — favourable for buyers wary of short leases.
Buyers should note the area’s higher-than-average crime and local deprivation indices; nearby schools vary in performance. For a buyer prepared to refurbish, this property offers a low entry price and clear scope to personalise or convert into a rental asset. Costs and timescale for works will be material to any purchase decision.
