Summary - 33, SHIRLEY HILLS ROAD, CROYDON CR0 5HQ
5 bed 1 bath Detached
Five-bedroom detached on a huge south‑east plot with scope to modernise and strong school links.
Five bedrooms with grand entrance hall and bifurcated staircase
Set on a remarkable 0.54-acre south‑east facing plot backing onto Addington Palace Golf Course, this five‑bedroom detached house offers significant family accommodation and scope to modernise. A grand 21'9" entrance hall with bifurcated staircase, two large reception rooms and a conservatory give strong period character and flexible living space for family life and entertaining.
The gardens are a major asset — sweeping lawns, mature trees and landscaped patios create privacy and a tranquil outlook. Off‑street parking is generous with an in/out driveway and a garage. The location is well served by good schools, bus routes, Tramlink and East Croydon rail connections for commuters.
Important practical points: the property requires renovation throughout and has only one bathroom plus a separate WC and shower room configuration, which will be limiting for large families unless reconfigured. The building shows traditional solid brick construction with secondary glazing and assumes no cavity insulation; upgrading to modern energy standards will be needed. Broadband speeds are slow and council tax is described as very expensive.
This home will suit a family looking for a substantial period residence in an exclusive address who want to add contemporary fittings and energy improvements. It also offers clear redevelopment/extension potential (south‑west garden space c.50ft) for buyers prepared to invest in refurbishment to realise long‑term value.
