Set on a popular residential street between Thornton Heath and Norbury stations, this three-bedroom semi-detached home provides generous living space and strong scope to personalise. The wide front reception with a feature fireplace and a second reception room give flexible family living and entertaining space. The sizeable rear garden and detached garage add practical outdoor and storage benefits.
The property has period character and useful modern comforts such as gas central heating and double glazing, but it does require renovation to reach its full potential. Internal décor is dated and some fabric improvements are likely needed; the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated which offers a clear improvement opportunity to increase comfort and reduce running costs.
This house suits buyers seeking a project with immediate space for family life or investors targeting value-add refurbishment. Transport links to Central London are strong from both Thornton Heath and Norbury stations, and local amenities, schools and parks are all within easy reach. Note the area is classified as deprived with above-average local crime rates — buyers should factor local context and any security or improvement costs into plans.
Overall this is a large, traditional home on freehold tenure with decent plot size and garage — an appealing blank canvas for those willing to invest in updating and energy improvements.
