Set back on a tree-lined Sanderstead road, this 1930s semi-detached home offers generous family living across about 2,069 sq ft. The house retains period character — high ceilings, bay windows and picture rails — and sits on a large, secluded rear garden in excess of 100' with a patio, ideal for children and entertaining. Driveway parking and an integral single garage add practical convenience.
The layout provides five bedrooms and two bathrooms across multiple levels, making it well suited to a growing family needing space for home working and hobbies. Local amenities are close by, including good primary and independent schools, Waitrose in Sanderstead Village, and several mainline stations (Sanderstead, Purley Oaks, East Croydon) for London commutes. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
The property requires renovation and modernisation throughout. Key practical issues: cavity wall construction appears to have no added insulation (assumed), double glazing install date is unknown, and the house will benefit from updating the kitchen, bathrooms and décor. Council tax is described as expensive. These factors present both immediate costs and clear scope to add value through improvement works.
For buyers seeking a spacious period home in a very low-crime, affluent area, this house offers strong long-term appeal. Renovation-minded families or investors can create a comfortable, contemporary family home while preserving handsome 1930s features.
