This rarely available Victorian detached house offers 3,427 sqft across multiple storeys with six bedrooms and three bathrooms. Set on a decent plot and offered freehold, the property provides scale and period character in a sought-after Croydon location close to Thornton Heath Station and Croydon University Hospital.
The building has clear potential for conversion into multiple flats subject to planning permission (STPP), making it suitable for developers or investors building a buy-to-let portfolio. Nearby schemes have secured planning for sizeable flat projects, underlining the area's demand and pricing gap with inner London.
The house is a significant refurbishment project. Images and descriptions note damp, mold, dated 1970s bathrooms, exterior wear and possible structural issues; a full inspection, urgent repairs and likely rewiring or upgrades will be required. The surrounding area is described as very deprived with high crime levels — factors that will affect tenant mix, yields and resale assumptions.
Local amenities are extensive: shops, healthcare, schools and good public transport links. Several nearby schools have Good or Outstanding Ofsted ratings, but others require improvement. This property suits experienced developers or investors prepared to manage refurbishment, planning and local-market challenges.
