Summary - 17 DORNTON ROAD SOUTH CROYDON CR2 7DR
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Large character home with garden and parking close to stations and top schools.
Detached four/five-bedroom Victorian family home, approx. 2,418 sq ft
This substantial four/five-bedroom detached home on Dornton Road combines strong period character with generous family living space across three floors. High ceilings, bay windows, ornate fireplaces and a conservatory create bright, elegant reception rooms ideal for entertaining and everyday family life. The large eat-in kitchen and separate utility/lobby give practical space for busy households, while off-street parking and a sizeable rear garden add outdoor flexibility and play space.
The layout includes three/four bedrooms on the first floor and a further bedroom plus flexible loft room on the second floor; the principal suite currently features an adjoining lounge that could be reconfigured back into two bedrooms if required. The property is chain free and sits close to South and East Croydon stations, schools (including several highly regarded options) and local amenities, making commutes and school runs straightforward.
Buyers should note key technical points: the property has only one family bathroom plus a guest WC, double glazing installed before 2002, and cavity walls with no confirmed added insulation. Council tax is above average. These are practical considerations that may mean some updating and energy-efficiency improvements are desirable.
Overall this is a character-filled family home in a sought-after South Croydon road, offering scope to modernise selectively while retaining attractive period detail. It will suit buyers wanting spacious living, good transport links and reputable nearby schools, and who are comfortable investing in targeted upgrades to improve comfort and efficiency.
