285 Purley Way, Croydon CR0 4XF

This property presents a unique refurbishment opportunity, comprising the ground floor of an end-of-terrace building that has served various purposes over the years. Initially residential, it transitioned through retail and office uses, most recently functioning as a taxi office with confirmed planning use. At the rear, there is a self-contained studio apartment, which has been in use since approximately 2013. The front section features a poorly maintained interior with significant renovation needs. It includes a main room, a second room at the back, a kitchen on the right side, and a shower room with WC. This area is equipped with a gas-fired boiler for heating, although its condition remains untested. The location along Purley Way offers excellent transport links and proximity to Croydon town centre and major retailers such as M&S and Aldi. Investors will find value in revitalising this mixed-use space to meet current rental demands or convert it back into purely residential living. As such, prospective buyers are encouraged to thoroughly inspect the property prior to bidding in the upcoming auction on 28 October 2026.
