Flat for sale in South Croydon CR2, 1 Bedroom

With over 900 years left of the lease and a share of the freehold, this flat is in a quiet cul-de-sac not far from local shops, buses and trains. With its south west facing and large picture windows overlooking the shared grounds it feels relaxing and away from the hurly burly, the perfect commuter's retreat. The property would benefit from a new kitchen and bathroom and there is a gas supply so central heating could be installed subject to the usual landlord's consent. A very deep airing cupboard could potentially be turned to other uses. There is a smart communal entrance hall leading to just two other flats on each of the 3 levels and there are three similarly sized blocks making up the entire development which has the unusual advantage of there being a garage for each of the 27 flats. The garage for this flat is in an easily accessible location, near the entrance to them. The garage for this flat is in an easily accessible location close to the entrance.

This would make an excellent first property and with 100% first time buyer stamp duty land tax relief for first time buyers there would be no stamp duty to pay. Historic prices also show that this could be a good long term investment and being so close to the Stations there is likely to be plenty of rental demand.

Built by Bellways Homes, this development is highly popular thanks to its very aesthetically pleasing location, away from the traffic, with gently sloping lawns and south west facing tree lined views towards the Purley Beeches but still being within easy walking distance of Purley Oaks and Sanderstead train station (about 5 minutes), with fast services to Gatwick, East Croydon and Victoria and London Bridge all in under 30 minutes.

Wettern Close is situated just off Purley Oaks Road with a pretty church at St Mary's, a primary school and beauty spot after which the Close is named, known as the Wettern Tree Gardens, linking Purley Oaks Road to Beech Avenue, all within a few yards of each other.

There is a row of convenience shops and restaurants in a traditional high street location 5 minutes walk away at Sanderstead Parade next to Sanderstead Station. Further afield there is the Domesday Book mentioned Sanderstead Village about a quarter of a mile away by bus (3 minutes) with its own convenience shops, 13th century Church, Village Hall, Waitrose and 7 minutes beyond by bus the historic village of Warlingham, Surrey, on the same bus route with its own restaurants and pubs and village life. Purley Town centre is a short drive in the opposite direction with even more shops and a supermarket and central Croydon is just a 5 minute train ride from Sanderstead Station or Purley Oaks with its tram connections to Wimbledon via the Purley Way out of town mega stores, cinemas and eateries, excellent train hub and busy commercial and retail centre, with its upcoming newly revamped Theatre and Concert Hall. Croydon is renowned for its popular schools both state and private and a wide selection of high performing schools are within easy reach. It is close to Ridgeway Primary School which is also highly popular with buyers moving just to be near it.
