Spacious five-bed period home with garden and no onward chain, minutes from Norwood Junction..
Five bedrooms and two reception rooms ideal for families or multiple occupancy
Set across 1,123 sq ft, this 1930s end-of-terrace offers five bedrooms, two reception rooms and two bathrooms — all offered with no onward chain. Its layout and room count suit a growing family or a landlord seeking a multi-let or HMO conversion (subject to consent). Norwood Junction station is within easy walking distance, giving direct links into central London for commuters.
The property is liveable but dated: a narrow galley kitchen, standard-sized rooms and mid-century fixtures will benefit from modernization. The house has gas central heating and double glazing, but the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and some cosmetic and energy upgrades would improve comfort and running costs. The rear garden is modest in depth and will need basic landscaping.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, two bathrooms, a large private garden and fast broadband — useful for working-from-home families. Nearby schools include Outstanding and Good-rated primaries and secondaries, strengthening the family appeal. The compact plot and average room sizes mean the house is best suited to buyers wanting refurbishment potential rather than those seeking generous, open-plan interiors.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the area records above-average crime and local deprivation indicators; the property presents in fair but dated condition and will require investment to modernize and improve energy efficiency. For buyers wanting a project with strong transport links and rental potential, this property presents clear upside once updated.
