Lennard Road, Croydon, CR0

***Vendor's comments: "I purchased this lovely one-bedroom flat as my first step into homeownership, seeking a permanent residence after years of renting. The transition to shared ownership offered a more economical alternative to renting, providing greater value for money. The decision was straightforward, given the opportunity to own a part of the property at a lower monthly cost.

I was the first resident to move into this property after its completion in 2017 and have enjoyed living here ever since. The flat was freshly painted just two years ago, maintaining its pristine condition. There have been no extensions or major alterations since then. My circumstances have changed. Initially a single occupant, I now have a child and find that the space no longer meets our needs. We have outgrown the property.

Croydon offers a dynamic lifestyle with an array of amenities. Enjoy diverse dining options, lively bars, Box Park and a range of spa and wellness therapies. The property’s location is exceptionally convenient—West Croydon station is just 0.1 miles away, providing a quick 32-minute overground journey to London Victoria. East Croydon station, 0.5 miles away, offers an alternative route to Gatwick Airport without the high taxi fares. Croydon excels in transport options, featuring trams, buses, and overground services. The area’s connectivity is one of its strongest attributes, making it a highly desirable location.

The excellent local amenities have enriched our time here. My child has thrived in this vibrant community with outstanding local schools and numerous parks. It’s been a wonderful environment, and we would stay if the flat were larger.

I will miss everything about this home; it's where I’ve raised my child. We have formed strong bonds with our incredibly friendly neighbours and we have fostered a genuine community spirit.

This property is perfect for a single person or couple seeking to enter the property market with stability, avoiding the unpredictability and escalating costs associated with private renting."
