High Street, Croydon, CR0

***30% shared ownership*** ***Vendor's comments:***"After browsing a few properties, as soon as we stepped into Leon House, we knew it was exactly what we were looking for. What first struck us was how spacious the living area was and how bright and beautiful the light that shone through the large windows was. We loved the modern feel of the flat, the sleek bathroom design, and the homey feel we sensed in all the rooms. We could imagine having lots of cosy, chill evenings here, and that has certainly been true.

What sealed the deal on this flat was the small wardrobe space that came with the bedroom. This was completely empty when we moved in, but we were certain we wanted to invest in a good-quality fitted wardrobe to make it feel as luxurious as possible. It has since been fitted with shelves and hanging space by Sharps, and it has truly been worth every penny. Another nice touch was the underfloor heating. We always hated how bulky and unattractive radiators can be, so we loved feeling the heating warming up the flat from the floor in the winter instead.

As well as the flat itself having so many amazing qualities, the building has so much to offer—the friendly concierge is a lovely touch, and the rooftop garden is amazing in the summer. We often go up there for a few drinks and games of table tennis, it’s been a great place to chill in the sun.

Everyone in the building is extremely friendly, and we’ve made lots of friends here since we moved in also. We have a community Facebook page where people can ask for advice or share local news, and during lockdown, a few committees were created and are still standing strong with regular meet-ups. There is also a communal workspace downstairs, which is great if you fancy some company while you are working away from the office. If you’re an animal lover, there are also a lot of cute pets frequenting the building, and people often need pet sitting! And if you have a pet or would like one, it’s completely animal-friendly.

We’ve really loved living at Leon House and planned on staying here for many years, but unfortunately, we need to move on due to personal circumstances changing. The last 3+ years here have treated us well, and we know it will bring as much joy to its next owners.

It’s extremely easy to get anywhere from East Croydon train station, which is just a 15-minute walk away, and there’s a huge range of bus routes available nearby too. In South Croydon in particular, there are lots of lovely restaurants and bars, and there is a lot of development happening in the area, so you will be spoilt with choices to keep you busy in the evenings/weekends. Also, Crushed Bean on the High Street is where you’ll get the best and friendliest coffee!"
