Spacious plot, school links and excellent transport nearby.
Five bedrooms plus large attic with conversion potential STPP
An imposing Art Deco detached family home on a wide corner plot, this five-bedroom property sits in a premier Whitgift Estate road within easy reach of Sandilands tram, East Croydon station and Trinity School. The house offers three reception rooms, a large fitted kitchen/breakfast room, four bath/shower rooms and an integral garage, arranged over generous, light-filled floors that suit family living and home working.
The plot is a major asset: a secluded south-facing rear garden, extensive landscaped front garden and long driveway provide strong indoor-outdoor appeal, off-street parking and scope for extension (STPP). The large attic (31'7" x 25'7") and room layout give practical potential to add value through conversion or reconfiguration, subject to permission.
Buyers should note material facts: the property is EPC rated D and in Council Tax Band H, so running costs will be significant. The house was constructed in the 1930s with cavity walls and assumed no added insulation; some upgrading and energy-efficiency improvements may be desirable. There are active Tree Preservation Orders affecting the site. Replacement windows/doors have been fitted since 2002, and no known structural issues, damp or subsidence are reported.
This home suits an established family seeking space, strong local schools and excellent transport links, or a buyer keen to invest in sympathetic modernisation and extension to unlock further value.
