Set in a modern development in the heart of Croydon, this contemporary one-bedroom apartment offers a bright open-plan reception and fitted kitchen with large windows that flood the space with natural light. The well-proportioned double bedroom and sleek bathroom suit a buyer seeking a low-maintenance city base or a buy-to-let opportunity close to West and East Croydon stations.
Practical details include secure entry, lift access and a balcony from the block, plus double glazing and an unusually long lease. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system, which may affect running costs. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow.
Service charge and ground rent are notable running costs: the service charge is approximately £3,061 annually with a £250 ground rent. The property sits in a very high crime area and a very deprived locality, factors that will influence suitability for some buyers and rental demand.
Overall this flat is well placed for town-centre convenience, transport links and local amenities. It will appeal most to first-time buyers looking for a compact urban home or investors seeking central location and straightforward, contemporary accommodation; buyers should budget for higher service costs, electric heating bills and plan around slow broadband availability.
