This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment sits in a period terrace just moments from Thornton Heath High Street and the station. High ceilings, a bay-windowed living room and direct access to a private garden give the flat a sense of space unusual for its size. A new 125-year lease will be granted on completion and the property is offered chain free.
The flat is well placed for commuters — Thornton Heath station is about 0.1 miles away — and local schooling and amenities are all within easy reach. The property has double glazing and an Energy Performance Rating of D, making it a practical, affordable option for a first-time buyer or a rental investor seeking immediate let potential.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: heating is by electric room heaters only, walls are likely solid brick with no insulation, and the area records high crime and very high deprivation. There is a service charge averaging £1,404 per year, and on-street parking only. These points affect running costs and may require future investment in heating or insulation.
Overall, the apartment offers good long-term potential thanks to the long lease, private garden and central location. It suits a buyer happy to accept modest ongoing costs and to make incremental improvements, or an investor targeting steady rental demand in a well-connected urban area.
