This three-bedroom semi-detached home in New Addington is offered chain-free and presents straightforward family living with clear scope to add value. The double-length L-shaped reception and separate kitchen give practical day-to-day flow, while a large private rear garden provides outdoor space for children and scope for a rear extension (subject to planning). The property is freehold and ready for a buyer who wants a well-proportioned home to personalise.
Built in the early 20th century, the house retains period form and sits on a decent plot with potential to create off-street parking to the front as neighbouring properties have done. Practical features include mains gas central heating, a modern family bathroom and double glazing (install date unknown). At about 775 sq ft, the accommodation is compact but efficiently arranged for family use.
Buyers should note the surrounding context: the wider area is classed as deprived with a ‘hard-pressed’ ethnic mix and local neighbourhoods described as hampered. Crime is average for the area. These factors affect long-term resale dynamics and should be weighed alongside the home’s on-site potential. The property will suit a family or first-time buyer looking to improve and personalise rather than a buyer seeking a turnkey move-in luxury.
Transport and local facilities are convenient with bus links and local schools nearby, several rated Good by Ofsted. The house is a practical purchase for someone wanting a blank-canvas family home in a major conurbation, with realistic short-term living and medium-term improvement upside.
