Summary - 96 Waddon Road CR0 4JG
5 bed 3 bath Semi-Detached
Large period house with garden and basement gym, ideal for growing families.
Approximately 3,021 sq ft of living space across multiple storeys
A substantial five-bedroom Victorian semi offers generous family living across three storeys plus a basement. Bright dual receptions and a modern kitchen flow onto a large rear garden with dedicated BBQ area — ideal for family gatherings and outdoor play. The property includes useful basement rooms currently used as a study and gym, plus off-street parking on a private driveway.
Built c.1900–1929, the house retains period character — bay windows, cornices and wood flooring — but will benefit from updating in places. The solid-brick walls likely lack cavity insulation and some internal areas show typical wear; sensible buyers should budget for modernisation to maximise energy efficiency and finish. There are two large family bathrooms, a separate WC and double glazing fitted since 2002, which help with immediate comfort.
Located on Waddon Road, the home is a practical choice for commuters and growing families: Waddon Station and Purley Way shops are close, Croydon town centre and green spaces like Waddon Park are nearby, and several well-rated schools sit within easy reach. Broadband and mobile signal are strong. Note the wider area records above-average crime and relative deprivation — buyers should factor local context into their plans.
Offered freehold and set over approximately 3,021 sq ft, this large-period home presents clear scope to reconfigure or upgrade for contemporary family living or rental income. Its scale, garden and transport links give it long-term appeal once modernisation work is completed.
