Spacious 3-bed detached home with large garden and strong school links — scope to extend STPP..
Detached 1930s house on a large plot with garage
A rare detached family home on a large plot, this three-bedroom property has been in the same family since construction and is offered with no onward chain. Set back from the road with a garage and generous front and rear gardens, it’s a comfortable, traditional 1930s house that will immediately appeal to buyers seeking space and scope to personalise.
The house has two reception rooms, a small kitchen and conservatory, and a single first-floor bathroom. Interiors are serviceable but dated — mid-20th-century finishes, a vintage gas fireplace and yellowed decor mean the property will reward updating and modernisation. The layout is straightforward and retains period character, making it well suited to families who want to adapt rooms or extend subject to planning (STPP).
Location is a key strength: very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, plus easy access to desirable state and independent schools, woodlands and local bus routes into Croydon and Purley. Freehold tenure and no chain simplify purchase for buyers seeking a straightforward move-in or refurbishment project.
Practical considerations: there is only one bathroom, the kitchen is small and the house will need modernisation throughout. Council tax banding is high, and any extension will require planning permission. For families or buyers looking to add value, the large garden and detached footprint offer genuine potential to extend and reconfigure living space.
