This chain-free, ground-floor 2-bedroom maisonette has been fully renovated and offers a generous reception room and a separate fitted kitchen with dining space. Double-size bedrooms and a white bathroom suite sit alongside period features such as a bay window and high ceilings, giving a characterful feel with modern finishes. A large private garden extends the living space, rare for a flat and ideal for outdoor use or entertaining.
Practical details suit first-time buyers: the lease has 118 years remaining, the property is free of flood risk and broadband and mobile signals are strong. Annual costs include a service charge of £645 and ground rent of £350. The building is solid brick (likely without cavity insulation) and has double glazing of unknown age; heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators.
Location is convenient for commuters and local life. Thornton Heath Station is a short walk away and Thornton Heath High Street amenities, leisure centre and green spaces are close by. Nearby schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, which supports family needs.
Buyers should note the wider area is classified as deprived with above-average crime levels; this may affect insurance and future resale. The property is average in overall size (about 872 sq ft) and, while newly renovated, the building’s period construction means there may be ongoing maintenance or upgrade needs (insulation, older services) typical of 1930s–1940s stock.
