This mid-terrace, early 20th-century home on Malvern Road offers roomy, flexible accommodation across approximately 1,168 sq ft. The layout includes a generous reception, separate dining room, three well-proportioned bedrooms and a long rear garden — ideal for families wanting outdoor space. The property retains period character such as a bay window and fireplace, giving scope to create a stylish family home.
The house requires full modernisation throughout, so buyers can add their own stamp and improve energy performance; current EPC rating D and pre-2002 double glazing mean loft and wall insulation upgrades would be beneficial. The building is solid brick (assumed uninsulated) with mains gas central heating and a single family bathroom — practical but dated.
Practical advantages include freehold tenure, no flood risk, good mobile and broadband connectivity, and potential to extend subject to planning permission (STPP). Transport links are strong: Thornton Heath station and frequent bus routes provide straightforward commutes into central London, making the house suitable for commuting families or investors seeking refurbishment potential.
Nearby schools rated Good and local green spaces add to family appeal. Be prepared for renovation costs and energy-efficiency improvements when budgeting, but the home’s size, period features and extension possibilities present clear long-term value.
