This extended four-bedroom semi-detached house on Lake Road is offered chain free and well presented for family living. The ground floor layout includes a generous lounge, separate dining room, contemporary kitchen, utility room and a versatile downstairs bedroom with en-suite — useful for guests or multigenerational living. The private rear garden and gated driveway with two off-street spaces add practical outdoor and parking benefits.
Upstairs provides three good bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes, and a family bathroom with separate shower and bath plus a separate WC. At about 1,249 sq ft in an Edwardian-built house, the property combines period character (bay window, brickwork) with modern fittings such as double glazing and a fitted kitchen, creating a comfortable everyday home in a peaceful south Shirley location.
Notable considerations: the EPC is rated D and the original solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so improvements to insulation and energy efficiency would be advisable. Council tax is above average. Overall the house presents immediate liveability with clear scope to increase comfort and reduce running costs with targeted upgrades.
Local amenities and transport are strong: fast rail links from East Croydon, frequent bus routes on Wickham Road, nearby shops, and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools within easy reach, making this suited to families seeking convenience and space on a major conurbation’s popular south side.
