This Victorian mid-terrace offers practical living for a small family or first-time buyers who value location and transport links. Two double bedrooms and two separate reception rooms provide flexible space for family life, home working or rental potential. The home has been finished neutrally with a contemporary kitchen and modern bathroom, so it is move-in ready for many buyers.
Positioned a short walk from East Croydon station and Tramlink, the house suits commuters who need fast connections into Central London and beyond. Local schools are strong and the town centre’s shops, restaurants and amenities are within easy reach. A private rear garden provides outdoor space for children or pets, and the property is offered freehold with no onward chain, simplifying purchase.
There are important practical considerations: the area has a high flood-risk classification and crime levels reported as very high, and the wider neighbourhood shows significant deprivation. The property’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated (as-built), so buyers should budget for thermal upgrades and any long-term energy improvements. The plot is small and room sizes are average, reflecting the terrace’s period proportions.
Overall this is a centrally located, characterful terraced house with good transport links and ready interiors, best suited to buyers who prioritise location and commuting convenience but who are prepared to manage neighbourhood risks and carry out energy-efficiency improvements if required.
