2 bed Flat For Sale £290,000
***Vendor's comments:*** "We bought this flat already tenanted as an investment for our three sons and chose this particular property for its central but quiet location along with its proximity to all Croydon's shops and services including; Grants cinema complex, and local pubs and restaurants, most of them within five minutes walk. East Croydon Station with its fast service to London is ten minutes walk.
We immediately extended the lease to over 160 years and removed the ground rent. After about three years the tenants moved out, and we took the opportunity to have the new kitchen fitted, with a new central heating boiler.
Unlike most modern flats, this has loads of storage space, with large built-in wardrobes to both double bedrooms and two further large cupboards off the main entrance hall. The Common areas are kept very clean by the managing agents, and the service cost is kept at a reasonable level; about £110 per month. Again, unlike many modern apartments so centrally placed, the flat has its own allocated parking space opposite the entry door to the block and ample visitor parking.
Subsequently, our youngest son moved in with his friend and they lived there very happily for the next two years.
They both moved out early in 2020, and we then took the opportunity to get the bathroom fully refitted, after which our middle son moved in with his partner ahead of a move to Bristol. Most recently our niece has lived in the flat with her husband while they negotiated the purchase of their first home, which they have now moved into.
We have decided not to go back to letting so that someone can have the chance to make the flat into a long term home for themselves. We will be sorry to part with the flat as it has served us and our family well. It is fully equipped to make an ideal home for young or old alike."
