This attractive Victorian semi-detached house on Shorts Road offers a practical family layout with period charm and modern updates. The property features a separate lounge with sash windows and shutters, an open-plan kitchen/diner ideal for family life, and useful off-street parking. It sits in a commuter-friendly area close to Carshalton and Carshalton Beeches stations and several well-regarded schools, making daily journeys and school runs straightforward.
Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged over two main floors plus a converted loft space. Three bedrooms are supported by a full bathroom and a separate shower room, while the open kitchen/dining area provides space for everyday living and entertaining. The rear garden is low-maintenance with a lawn, patio and a powered garden shed; a hot tub is installed at the rear.

Buyers should note the house is a period build (c.1900–1929) with solid brick walls and assumed lack of cavity insulation; upgrading wall insulation could improve efficiency. The plot is modest in size, so garden space is limited compared with larger suburban plots. Council tax is moderate and broadband and mobile signals are good, which suits home-working needs.
Overall, this home will suit families seeking a character property in a wealthy, commuter-friendly neighbourhood, offering immediate move-in comfort with scope for energy improvements and personalised updates.
