Set on a sought-after cul-de-sac overlooking a central green, this three-bedroom semi-detached family home offers bright, traditional accommodation on a large plot. The ground floor features a double-length, dual-aspect reception with bay window and doors to the mature rear garden that backs onto private woodland owned by the Scouts. A separate kitchen leads to a conservatory and guest WC, while upstairs provides three bedrooms and a shower room. The property is freehold with gas central heating and double glazing.
Practical strengths include driveway parking for 2–3 cars, a garage, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and proximity to strong local schools, shops and regular bus routes into Croydon and East Croydon station. The plot size and layout give clear potential to extend, subject to planning permission (STPP), offering scope to add value for growing families.
Buyers should note this is a mid-20th-century, solid-brick build with assumed lack of cavity insulation and some dated internal decor; upgrading fabric and finishes would improve comfort and efficiency. There is only one bathroom (shower suite) upstairs plus a downstairs WC. Council tax is above average. Any extension will require planning consent.
Overall this home is well positioned for families seeking outdoor space, local schools and transport links, and for buyers wanting a property with extension potential. It will suit those prepared to modernise and insulate to achieve long-term comfort and value uplift.
