This well-preserved 1930s semi delivers classic period charm with practical family living across generous rooms. Two reception rooms with dividing doors give space for formal dining and relaxed family life, while three good-sized bedrooms sit upstairs. A modern fitted kitchen, separate utility room and large contemporary bathroom with separate shower make day-to-day routines straightforward.
Outside, a south-facing garden offers sunny outdoor space and the property includes a garage plus driveway parking — a valuable convenience in this area. Double glazing and mains gas central heating provide modern comfort, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and streaming. Local amenities, parks and a range of well-regarded primary and secondary schools are close by; East Croydon and West Wickham rail connections are an easy drive or bus ride.
Notable considerations: there is a single main bathroom for three bedrooms, council tax is above average, and the property’s solid brick walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation, so further insulation work may be advisable. Crime levels are average for the area. Overall, this is a spacious, characterful family home with ready-to-live-in comforts and scope for energy upgrades or cosmetic modernisation to suit personal taste.
