***Vendor‘s comments:*** "e;This flat in South Croydon
is not just a place to live, it‘s a sanctuary that encapsulates
everything I enjoy about life.
As you step through the door, you‘re greeted by a long hallway
with a built-in cupboard with plenty of space to hang coats and
shelving for a huge shoe collection. The hallway is adorned with
two pure copper spiral light fixtures that invite you into the
modern theme of the home.
At the end of the hallway is an open-plan living room, dining
space, and kitchen bathed in natural light from the balcony with
two double-sliding doors, the perfect space for entertaining guests
or unwinding after a long day. As part of the kitchen renovation,
completed in 2018, there is an infinity booth merged seamlessly
into the counter, which provides comfortable seating for the dining
space. The booth has 3 additional large storage compartments, which
are handy for storing a mini-library of books and other
knick-knacks. The modern kitchen beautifully blends style and
functionality, with a host of copper elements, a large built-in
fridgefreezer, and a hidden appliance cupboard, inviting you to
unleash your inner chef with its sleek appliances and ample counter
space.
The two double bedrooms are spacious, comfortable, and warm. Due
to the flat being on the first floor, the double-insulated windows
and rising heat from flats below mean that during the cold winter
months, you rarely need to turn on the Wärme Designer Smart
heaters, which were also installed in every room in 2018, replacing
out-dated storage heaters. The main bedroom boasts not just one but
two generously sized built-in wardrobes, ensuring you‘ll never run
out of storage space. The bedrooms back onto the quiet communal
garden with no footcar traffic, and the sounds of birds are heard
while lying in bed in the mornings.
The thoughtfully designed three-piece bathroom, recently updated
in 2023, contains two floor-to-ceiling mirrors that slide open to
reveal even more storage, where the washing machine, boiler, and
cleaning equipment are kept out of the way.
During the challenging times of COVID-19, the communal gym and
sauna provided a haven, nurturing both my physical and mental
well-being. The gym has a treadmill, cross-trainer, spin bike, and
a set of weights. The gym also contains a separate toilet and
shower, so you don‘t have to go back to your flat if you are in a
rush to head out after a workout. The sauna contains helpful
operating instructions for you to take control of when and how
often you indulge in some relaxation time.
Its location was great for quick travel into London Bridge or
Victoria (17 minutes on the train), or East Croydon (10 minutes on
the bus). I was rarely late anywhere, as it took me 5 minutes to
walk to South Croydon Train Station. I enjoyed the times I would
travel abroad, as it is a mere 25-minute journey (literally
door-to-door) to Gatwick Airport. It took a while to discover that
there is also a bus route, the X26, that goes directly from East
Croydon Station to Heathrow Airport in an hour, so that became
useful too! I also found that the flat is the perfect balance
between near-countryside living (10 min walk to Lloyd Park and
Addington Hills, which have a famous viewpoint showing views across
north London, Docklands, and Parliament Hill), but also the
opportunity to enjoy the bustling metropolitan feel of Boxpark
Croydon or quick access to Central London for a fun evening
