Set back on a large, level plot on a quiet residential road in Caterham, this substantial four-bedroom house offers immediate space and privacy. The property includes two garages, a wide driveway and a large conservatory that opens directly onto a secluded rear garden — useful for family living and outdoor entertaining. The layout is versatile with generous room sizes throughout and scope to reinstate or reconfigure rooms to suit modern living.
The house requires full modernisation, presenting a clear opportunity for buyers who want to add value through refurbishment or extension (subject to planning). Key practical points: cavity walls likely have no insulation, services and appliances are not guaranteed, and council tax is described as expensive. These are important to budget for alongside renovation costs.
This is a strong proposition for families seeking long-term accommodation close to well-regarded local schools, or for investors/developers looking for a project in a very affluent area with good transport links, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The built era (1950s–1960s) means characterful proportions but also potential for upgrading heating, glazing and insulation. Viewing is recommended for buyers wanting a spacious house they can personalise and improve over time.
