This substantial Victorian semi offers generous living space across multiple floors: two reception rooms, a separate breakfast room and a smart kitchen, plus three well‑sized bedrooms. High ceilings and original features such as bay windows and cornicing bring character and scope for sympathetic updating. A private rear garden provides outside space on a small urban plot. The property is freehold and measures about 1,283 sq ft.
Location is a clear strength. The house sits close to Croydon town centre with fast links from East Croydon, West Croydon and Selhurst stations. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, alongside local shops, Tesco, leisure facilities and frequent bus services.
Buyers should be aware of notable drawbacks. The area records high crime and very high deprivation indices, which may affect resale and insurance costs. The exterior and some internal elements require tender loving care; the property appears to need updating and possible repairs. Walls are original solid brick with no known insulation and double glazing installation date is unknown, so energy performance upgrades may be needed. There is a single bathroom and the plot is small, limiting extension potential without planning.
This house will suit buyers seeking space and period character near Croydon transport hubs — ideal for families looking to personalise a home or investors targeting rental demand close to stations. Be prepared for refurbishment work and for the local area considerations when assessing long‑term value.
