Summary - 133, PURLEY DOWNS ROAD, SOUTH CROYDON CR2 0RL
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Spacious plot with garage, excellent school catchment and station access.
Four double bedrooms plus a usable office/bedroom
Set on elevated ground in sought-after South Croydon, this substantial four-bedroom detached home combines period character with practical family living. Generous principal rooms and original features such as cornices and picture rails give the house warmth and charm, while a modern kitchen and double-aspect living room with French doors open onto a large, level rear garden with far-reaching views.
The plot is a standout: a long paved driveway, detached single garage with workshop, and extensive lawns create excellent outdoor space for children, pets and entertaining. The property sits within walking distance of two mainline stations and is in the catchment for several well-regarded schools, making daily commuting and school runs straightforward.
There is scope to extend the home subject to planning (STPP), offering clear potential to increase living space or add an additional bathroom. Practical considerations include a single family bathroom, an EPC rating of E, and original solid-brick construction that likely lacks cavity insulation — upgrading heating/insulation would improve comfort and running costs. Council tax is high.
This home will suit families seeking space, character and long-term potential who are prepared to invest in energy improvements and possible extension work to tailor the house to modern family needs.
