Summary - 45 Woodmere Avenue, Shirley, Croydon, CR0 CR0 7PG
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Large period home with 5 bedrooms, ground-floor annexe and 120ft south garden — needs full refurbishment..
Chain-free detached 1930s house on a large plot
Set back from the road on a generous plot, this 1930s detached house offers substantial family accommodation and a one-bedroom ground-floor annexe with a private entrance. The property sits at the top of Woodmere Avenue, close to good local schools, parks and bus routes, with East Croydon within easy driving distance for rail links to central London.
Rooms are spacious and retain period features such as bay windows and a fireplace, but much of the house requires modernization throughout. Practical positives include a long south-facing rear garden of about 120ft, off-street driveway parking and a separate garage — appealing for families who want outdoor space and storage.
Chain-free sale and freehold tenure simplify purchase, and the annexe offers flexible use as independent accommodation, home office or rental income potential. Buyers should budget for a comprehensive refurbishment: assumed solid-brick walls with no insulation, dated kitchen and bathroom fittings, and likely upgrades to heating, electrics and windows where needed.
This is a straightforward opportunity for a growing family or investor to redesign and modernise a substantial period home in a very affluent area. The house rewards those prepared to renovate with significant space, a large garden and excellent local amenities.
