Summary - 17 WEST STREET LANE CARSHALTON SM5 2PY
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Ideal for commuters seeking character close to parks and fast trains to central London.
Freehold two-bedroom period cottage, approximately 725 sq ft
A charming, characterful two-bedroom cottage tucked in central Carshalton, just a five-minute walk from the village shops, The Grove and the BR station. The house has been recently modernised while retaining original features such as sash-style double glazed windows, exposed brick fireplace and period bathroom fittings. The fitted Shaker kitchen and converted former bake-house provide useful, well-proportioned living space across the ground floor.
The property benefits from a private, fully enclosed courtyard garden and a separate outbuilding currently used as a home office/utility room—ideal for remote working or laundry and storage. Gas central heating with a modern boiler, double glazing and an EPC rating of C give practical running-cost advantages. The location offers excellent schools nearby, frequent fast trains to London Victoria and easy bus links across the borough.
Important practical points: the plot is very small and external space is limited to the courtyard; on-street parking only. The building is of solid brick construction with no assumed cavity insulation in the walls, which may affect long-term energy improvements. Also note the local area records a higher crime level than average, so prospective buyers should check local crime data and consider security measures.
Overall this freehold cottage will suit buyers who value period character and a central, walkable setting with good transport and schooling links. Its recent refurbishment means it is largely move-in ready, while the compact plot and solid-wall construction mean there is limited scope for major extension without planning and structural work.
