This freehold mid-terrace offers a bright, practical layout across approximately 798 sq ft, with two double bedrooms and an open-plan living and dining area. The house benefits from double glazing (fitted post-2002), mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and the uncommon convenience of off-street parking for the area. A private garden provides outdoor space despite the small plot size.
Positioned in East Croydon, the home has excellent transport links to central London and Gatwick, plus frequent trams and buses. Local amenities are abundant — shops, cafes, and eateries are within easy walking distance — and several nearby primary and secondary schools rated Good or above serve families. Croydon’s ongoing regeneration supports potential long-term area growth.
Be clear about known drawbacks: the property has an EPC rating of D and is in a locally deprived area with a higher-than-average recorded crime level, which may affect insurance and resale considerations. The house was constructed in the 1930s with solid brick walls and assumed no cavity insulation, so heating costs could be higher and improvement works may be beneficial. The compact kitchen shows some dated cabinetry and potential damp that will likely need attention.
This home suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking value close to transport links who is willing to carry modest upgrades. Early viewings are recommended to assess the garden, parking, and internal condition in person.
