A substantial four-bedroom Victorian semi-detached house on Oakfield Road offering clear scope to create a spacious family home. The property has three flexible reception rooms, a basement for storage and off-street parking — useful practical benefits for everyday family life.
The kitchen and conservatory are dated and require full modernisation, presenting an opportunity to design an open-plan kitchen/diner to suit contemporary living. A large loft provides scope to extend (STPP) and add significant living space or an extra bedroom, subject to planning permission.
Buyers should be realistic about the work needed: the home needs renovation throughout, the walls are original solid brick (no known insulation), and glazing installation dates are unknown. Council tax is above average. The location is very convenient for commuters — within walking distance of West and East Croydon stations with rail, tram and bus links — but the immediate area records higher crime levels and is classed as very deprived, which may influence long-term resale or rental yields.
Offered vacant with no onward chain, this property suits a hands-on family or a buy-to-let investor prepared to modernise. With the right investment, it can be transformed into a comfortable, larger family home in a well-connected urban location.
