Set directly opposite Waddon Ponds, this three‑bed mid‑terraced house offers a practical, small‑footprint family home with clear scope to add value. The property is freehold, includes off‑street parking and a detached garage, and benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—useful for commuters and home workers. Room sizes are typical for a mid‑20th‑century terrace and the bay‑windowed front reception brings good natural light.
The interior is dated and will suit buyers willing to modernise. There are two reception rooms, a modest kitchen and a separate utility/lean‑to; bathrooms and finishes are serviceable but tired. The house is a straightforward refurbishment project rather than a move‑in‑perfect showhome—upgrading the kitchen, bathroom and decorative finishes would noticeably increase appeal and value.
Location is a mixed‑use urban setting with easy access to local parks, schools and road links. Several well‑regarded primary and secondary schools are nearby, and public transport links and shops are within walking distance. Note the area shows higher than average crime and local deprivation indicators, so buyers should consider local safety measures and insurance implications.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, garage with power and light, a small rear garden and no flood risk. Material drawbacks are the dated interior, small plot size, and the surrounding area’s higher crime and deprivation levels. This property suits a first‑time buyer or investor ready to refurbish, or a young family seeking an affordable three‑bed in Croydon with excellent connectivity.
