This attractive 1920s detached family home on Penwortham Road offers generous, well-proportioned living across two floors and sits on a large plot with a deep 100ft rear garden. Two reception rooms plus a conservatory give flexible family space, while a fitted kitchen/breakfast room and a principal bedroom with en-suite deliver comfortable everyday living. Driveway parking and a garage with an electric door add useful off-street convenience.
The house is well placed for families: Purley Oaks and Sanderstead stations are within a short walk, and a number of well-regarded primary and secondary schools are nearby. The property is freehold and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing (install date not confirmed). There is clear scope to extend or reconfigure subject to planning (STPP), which will appeal to buyers wanting to add value and personalise the home.
Buyers should note the property’s age and construction. The walls are solid brick with no confirmed built-in insulation (assumed), so upgrading thermal insulation could be required. The house would benefit from updating in places to reflect modern finishes and efficiencies. Council tax is described as expensive, which should be factored into running costs.
Overall this is a spacious suburban family home in a very desirable part of South Croydon, offering immediate liveability and realistic potential to improve and extend for growing households.
