Set on a quiet cul-de-sac close to Riddlesdown Common, this three-bedroom semi offers practical family living with clear potential to personalise. The ground floor’s open-plan living, dining and kitchen creates a sociable heart, while a lean-to utility and downstairs WC add everyday convenience. Upstairs, three well-sized bedrooms and a four-piece family bathroom suit family routines.
Outside, a tiered southerly garden with patio, lawn and a lower blank tier gives scope for landscaping or extension (subject to consents). Off-street parking and side access add practicality for families or weekend projects. The property sits near highly regarded schools and has good commuter links to Purley, Riddlesdown and Kenley stations.
The house is predominantly mid-20th century brick with double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. It is in generally sound condition but will benefit from updating in parts — roof and external areas show maintenance needs and internal finishes are an opportunity for modernisation to increase value. Cavity walls are as-built with no insulation assumed, so buyers should consider energy improvements.
This freehold home suits families looking for space in an affluent, well-connected area and buyers happy to invest modestly to modernise and personalise. Important facts: single bathroom serves three bedrooms, standard ceiling heights, and no known flood risk.
