Light and contemporary, this two-bedroom second-floor apartment sits to the rear of a modern purpose-built development, away from the road. The open-plan kitchen/living/dining room has integrated appliances, a breakfast bar and bi-fold doors out to a private balcony that stretches across the rear. Both double bedrooms open onto the balcony; the master has fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. The property benefits from underfloor heating and lift access.
Practical features include gated parking accessed via electric gates, secure entry, and a 116-year lease. The flat is offered chain-free and is an easy walk to Caterham Valley’s shops, supermarkets and transport links, with trains to London via East Croydon. Nearby schools include highly rated primary and secondary options, plus recreational facilities and countryside on the doorstep.
Costs and considerations are straightforward: this is a leasehold property with an average service charge of £2,472 and a ground rent of £345 per year. The local area records higher crime levels than average—buyers should satisfy themselves on security and insurance implications. Council tax is moderate. The accommodation is well presented but in a modern development that may appeal less to buyers seeking period character.
Overall, the flat suits a first-time buyer or professional couple looking for a low-maintenance, well-connected home with outdoor space and parking. It offers immediate move-in potential and commuter convenience, with some ongoing running costs to factor into affordability calculations.
