This Victorian terraced house on Portland Road offers three well-proportioned bedrooms across an impressive 1,182 sq ft, making it a spacious blank canvas for a family or buyer seeking refurbishment potential. High ceilings and original bay windows retain period character, while the through lounge and separate kitchen provide flexible living space. The small, low-maintenance garden is practical for busy households.
The property is offered chain free and benefits from strong transport links: Norwood Junction and nearby East Croydon provide fast, direct services into central London and Gatwick Airport, ideal for commuters. There is scope to extend, subject to planning permission (STPP), which could add value and living space for a growing family.
Buyers should note practical unknowns: tenure is not specified and the EPC rating is to be confirmed. The house sits in an area with higher deprivation statistics and average local crime; buyers should factor this into insurance and living-cost considerations. Internally the property will suit someone prepared to update or modernise to their own taste—there are dated finishes and a single bathroom serving three bedrooms.
Nearby schools include several rated Good and one Outstanding option; local amenities, independent eateries and green space at The Country Park are within comfortable walking distance. This home will appeal to families and investors who prioritise space, transport links and the chance to add value through refurbishment or extension.
