Being Sold via Secure Sale online bidding. Terms & Conditions apply. Starting Bid £239,000. <br/> <br/>Set back from the road, this first floor maisonette has a slightly more private, tucked-away feel from the outset. You enter via a lobby with stairs rising to the main level, where a central landing connects each room. The layout is simple and well-balanced, with two genuine double bedrooms, a comfortable lounge positioned to the rear, and a kitchen/breakfast room that works as a proper day-to-day space rather than just somewhere to cook. There is a bathroom alongside a separate WC, which adds a practical edge for shared living. Externally, steps lead down to a private garden, giving you your own defined outdoor space, along with shared gated side access, off-road parking to the rear, and the added benefit of a garage within a nearby block. The property is held on a 99-year lease from 5 September 1994, with approximately 67 years remaining, a ground rent of £30 per annum, and no ongoing service charge currently payable. <br/> <br/>This part of Warlingham and Whyteleafe has a rhythm to it that people tend to settle into quite quickly. It is quieter than the surrounding high streets, more residential in feel, but everything you need is close enough that daily life becomes easy without much planning. One of the biggest advantages here is the positioning between Upper Warlingham railway station and Whyteleafe South railway station, which gives you options depending on your day. Trains from Upper Warlingham run into London Victoria, while Whyteleafe South connects through to London Bridge, meaning you are not tied to a single route or terminal, which makes a real difference over time. <br/> <br/>Weekends here tend to fall into an easy pattern. A Saturday might start with a coffee locally on Warlingham Green before heading out for a walk across Riddlesdown Common, where the open space and views stretch out far beyond what you expect this close to London. If you have a dog, it is one of those places you will end up using daily without even thinking about it. For something more structured, nearby leisure centres and gyms in Caterham and Purley cover most routines, while golf courses and tennis clubs sit within a short drive. <br/> <br/>Lunch tends to be local and relaxed. The Horseshoe and The White Lion are both easy options for something informal, while a short drive opens up a wider choice into Purley or Caterham if you want a bit more variety. Sundays have their own pace - a proper roast, a walk afterwards, and back home without feeling like you have spent the day travelling. <br/> <br/>Day to day, the practical side is just as straightforward. Caterham Valley offers supermarkets including Waitrose and Morrisons, alongside smaller independent shops, while Purley provides a slightly broader mix of retail and services. If you want something bigger, Croydon is within easy reach for shopping, cinema and larger gyms, giving you that wider offering without needing to rely on central London. <br/> <br/>For those commuting or heading into town socially, the flexibility of having both London Bridge and Victoria routes nearby is a genuine benefit. You can be into central London in under an hour, whether that is for work, dinner, or meeting friends, and still be back somewhere that feels noticeably calmer by the end of the evening.<br/><br/>Council Tax Band: C <br/>Tenure: Leasehold <br/>Length of Lease: 67 <br/>Annual Ground Rent Amount: £30.00 <br/>
