Set in the sought-after Lloyd Park/Park Hill area, this substantial five-bedroom Victorian detached home offers generous family accommodation across three floors plus a cellar. The house combines period character — high ceilings, bay windows and feature fireplaces — with practical upgrades such as gas central heating and double glazing installed after 2002. Three reception rooms, a well-equipped kitchen with utility and potential to extend (STPP) create flexible living and entertaining space.
The property is particularly family-friendly: three bedrooms on the first and two on the second floor, four bathrooms (three en-suite) and a private mature garden. Off-street parking and easy access to Tramlink, South and East Croydon stations simplify daily commuting. Several highly rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, and local shops and Croydon’s restaurant quarter are nearby.
Buyers should note the house is a period, solid-brick build (pre-1900) and walls are assumed uninsulated, so upgrading insulation could be advisable to improve efficiency. Council tax is described as quite expensive and, like many homes of this age, routine maintenance or sympathetic refurbishment may be needed to retain character while modernising. Overall, this is a spacious, elegant family home with scope to personalise and add value.
