This chain-free Victorian end-terrace offers two double bedrooms across approximately 798 sq ft, suited to a first-time buyer ready to modernise. The property is freehold with mains gas heating, double glazing, and a generous rear garden that provides scope to extend (subject to planning permission).
The house requires renovation throughout — cosmetic and likely some fabric improvements — and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated. These works present an opportunity to add value through updating the interior, improving insulation, and reconfiguring space where planning allows.
Transport links are a strong practical advantage: Thornton Heath Station and local buses provide fast connections into central London. Local amenities, several good-rated primary and secondary schools, and proximity to Croydon University Hospital add everyday convenience for commuters and families.
Be realistic about wider context: the immediate area is classified as a deprived urban cultural mix with above-average crime levels. The small plot and need for renovation mean this suit buyers willing to invest time and money to unlock the property’s potential.
