Set across split levels, this top-floor three-double-bedroom flat offers an unusually large 1,360 sq ft layout and plenty of period character. High ceilings, bay windows, fireplaces and original mouldings give the main reception a grand, airy feel; two further double bedrooms sit on the upper level with good eaves storage and a dormer window. The kitchen is modern and practical, while the principal bathroom includes separate shower and bath facilities.
Location is a clear strength: both East Croydon and South Croydon stations are within walking distance, providing fast rail and excellent transport links for commuters. The property comes with a share of freehold and, importantly, the lease will be extended to 999 years on completion, which should secure long-term tenure and usability for most buyers.
Buyers should note there are conflicting lease details on record: paperwork also shows c.54 years remaining and a warning that some mortgage lenders could be reluctant until the extension is fully confirmed. Additional costs such as leasehold documentation packs may also apply. Internally the flat is generally tidy but would benefit from some cosmetic updating to finishes if you want a fully contemporary finish.
Overall this is a rare, large split-level period apartment that will suit families or professionals seeking space, character and excellent transport links. It presents immediate liveability with scope for value uplift through minor modernisation, subject to verifying lease documentation and mortgage availability.
