Summary - 256A CROYDON ROAD BECKENHAM BR3 4DA
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Long lease and communal gardens close to high street and transport.
Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment, approx. 441 sq ft
This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offers an accessible, chain-free purchase with genuine practical advantages for a first-time buyer. Set within a semi-detached block from the late 1960s/early 1970s, the flat benefits from a very long lease (984 years) and share of freehold, providing ownership certainty alongside a below-average service charge of £167 per month.
Natural light fills the contemporary living room and compact modern kitchen, while a communal garden and off-street residents’ parking add outdoor space and convenience. The property sits close to Croydon Road Recreation Ground, Beckenham High Street and local transport links, including Clock House station and frequent buses — useful for commuting and everyday errands.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the apartment is modest in size (about 441 sq ft), so it suits single buyers or couples rather than those needing extensive space. The building’s cavity walls were built without installed insulation (assumed), which may affect heating efficiency and could be a target for future improvement works. Broadband speeds are average and the area benefits from excellent mobile signal and low flood risk.
Overall, this apartment is a low-maintenance, well-located entry point to the local market with clear potential to personalise and improve energy performance over time. The combination of long lease, communal amenities and proximity to schools and shops will suit buyers seeking convenience and value in Beckenham.
