Set on the second floor of a mid‑20th century purpose‑built block, this two‑bed apartment offers straightforward living with good transport links. The property benefits from a share of freehold, is chain free and sits about 0.7 miles from East Croydon station, making it practical for commuters and buy‑to‑let landlords.
Internally the layout includes two double bedrooms, a large reception room with wide windows, a spacious fitted kitchen and a full three‑piece bathroom. The apartment is presented as average in size with ample storage and plenty of natural light; ceiling heights and room proportions are standard for the era.
The building and flat will suit someone planning modest cosmetic updates rather than a full renovation. The construction era (1967–75) means cavity walls likely lack added insulation and double glazing dates are unknown, so heating efficiency could be improved. The area is classified as deprived with above‑average crime levels, which may affect some buyers’ priorities and rental demand.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, excellent mobile signal, off‑street parking and communal garden. This is a sensible option for first‑time buyers seeking an affordable entry into Croydon or investors targeting a lettable two‑bedroom close to tram and rail links, provided they factor in updating and area considerations.
