Set on the Surrey border, this four-double-bedroom detached home offers straightforward family living with no onward chain. The house sits behind a private driveway and single garage, and has a level, low-maintenance rear garden ideal for children or busy households.
Accommodation is traditional and practical: a medium living room with bay window, ground-floor cloakroom/WC, and upstairs bedrooms that provide flexible family space. The property dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, so there is clear potential to modernise bathrooms and finishes to personal taste while retaining solid mid-century proportions.
Location strengths include very low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, good local schools (including Croydon High nearby) and green space at Selsdon Woods within easy reach. Regular buses serve Croydon town centre and mainline stations, making commuting and school runs straightforward.
Buyers should note there is only one bathroom for four double bedrooms, single garage, and the house is older so cosmetic updating and possible services checks (electrics, windows install dates unknown) may be needed. Council tax is described as expensive; factor this into running costs.
