Oakfield Road, Croydon, CR0

*Vendor's comments* "I first purchased it as a first-time buyer in 2006. One notable feature that stood out to me was its impressive size compared to other options I explored. But what truly sealed the deal was the inclusion of a private garden alongside exclusive access to the communal garden a significant advantage.

Throughout my time here, I have been the sole user with the only direct access to the communal space, offering tremendous potential to transform it into a beautifully landscaped oasis. The other owners share my enthusiasm and are eager to enhance this shared area.

In addition to its appealing features, the property offers the convenience of private secured parking, eliminating the need to obtain a parking badge for off-street parking from the council. It also can be rented out as a space for others if you don’t have a vehicle.

Furthermore, the layout presents an exciting opportunity to convert the space into a two-bedroom configuration without requiring structural modifications. The hallway space can be ingeniously repurposed as a cosy living area or a versatile study. There is also space under the stairs to use as storage and potentially turn into cupboard space

When it comes to transportation, the location excels. West Croydon provides direct trains to London Bridge in just 20 minutes, while Victoria is reachable within 30 minutes. Moreover, a direct train to Shoreditch is a mere five-minute walk from Liverpool Street and is conveniently located near Box Park. East Croydon boasts 24-hour trains to Gatwick Airport, with a quick journey of approximately 15 minutes via Victoria. This means you can enjoy the luxury of 24 daily trains from central London to Croydon. The apartment itself is approximately a 15-minute walk from East Croydon station and 5 minutes from West Croydon.

An additional exciting prospect lies in the vast potential to develop a property within the car park, offering excellent opportunities for future investment. We have already had an architect visit the land and they believe planning permission should not be an issue.

Finally, I have occasionally rented out the property while living abroad, consistently enjoying a steady income. Finding tenants has always been a seamless process whether as a one-bedroom or two-bedroom.

The property has undergone a comprehensive renovation including a newly fully fitted bathroom and refurbished kitchen.

The new appliances include a new unused modern induction hob, extractor fan and sink still under its one-year manufacturing warranty ensuring it is ready for you to create your memories and make it your ideal home."
