This first-floor two-double-bedroom conversion blends Victorian character with recent redecoration, offering a bright, immediately habitable home. Period details such as a high-ceilinged living room, feature fireplace and large sash-style windows give the apartment charm while new finishes keep it fresh for modern living.
Practical strengths include a long lease (approximately 980 years), a 50% share of freehold, an EPC C rating and no onward chain, making conveyancing straightforward. The property sits moments from West Croydon station (about 0.2 miles) with fast rail links to central London, and local shops, schools and amenities are within easy reach.
There are clear trade-offs to weigh. Heating is electric with room heaters rather than gas central heating, and the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity wall insulation. The wider area records higher crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may influence future resale or rental prospects. The apartment is described as small overall (circa 603 sq ft) but benefits from a loft that is exclusively accessed from the landing and may offer conversion potential subject to consents.
Suitable for a first-time buyer looking for character, convenience and a long lease, this apartment is a practical, low-maintenance entry into the Croydon market. Buyers seeking lower-running heating costs or guaranteed quiet streets should factor in the electric heating and local area profile when deciding to view.
