This detached three-bedroom bungalow sits on a generous, slightly elevated plot in Coombe Wood Hill, offering a private rear garden, detached garage and multiple off-street parking spaces. At about 943 sq ft, the layout is traditional and practical — a comfortable single-storey home that will suit downsizers seeking ease of access or buyers wanting a renovation project with good scope.
The property needs some modernisation throughout: dated interior, older double glazing and an EPC rating of D. The building is solid-brick and likely uninsulated in the walls, so buyers should factor in thermal upgrades and possible reconfiguration if greater energy efficiency or open-plan living is required. There is a single bathroom and standard ceiling heights, so layout changes would be needed for more contemporary family living.
Location is a clear strength. Riddlesdown station is a short walk away, with wider rail links from Purley for Gatwick and central London connections — useful for commuters. The area is very affluent with low crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Several highly rated state and independent schools are nearby, making the bungalow suitable for downsizers who still expect good local schooling for visiting grandchildren.
Practical points: the property is freehold, has mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, no reported flood risk, and council tax is above average. This is a realistic purchase for someone wanting a comfortable, single-storey home with long-term potential, or an investor/developer prepared to carry out refurbishment work to increase energy performance and modern living standards.
