This chain-free three-bedroom semi-detached house on Croydon Road offers a compact yet well-laid-out family home with surprisingly generous outdoor space. The ground floor provides a larger-than-average entrance hall, a tidy downstairs W.C., a reception room with a feature fireplace, and an open-plan kitchen/dining area that opens onto a substantial rear garden. Modern fitted units and integrated appliances help the kitchen feel contemporary and practical.
Upstairs the property has two large double bedrooms and a good-size single, served by a family bathroom with a four-piece suite and separate shower cubicle. The generous landing and built-in alcove storage add useful day-to-day practicality. Off-street parking at the front currently accommodates several cars and could be extended further if required.
Practical advantages include fast broadband, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and double glazing fitted post-2002. The house sits in an established residential area with good schools, local shops, and regular rail links to London via Caterham and Whyteleafe South stations, while the North Downs countryside is close by for outdoor leisure.
Notable considerations: the property sits within a medium flood-risk zone and the cavity walls are understood to have no insulation, which may affect running costs. The internal footprint is relatively small (approximately 738 sq ft) so buyers wanting larger living volumes should check room sizes. Overall this is a tidy, move-in-ready family home with scope to modernise energy performance and expand parking if desired.
