Summary - 179 FARLEY ROAD SOUTH CROYDON CR2 7NP
4 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Large garden and gym room near top schools and woodland.
Four bedrooms across two storeys, 1,596 sqft approximate floor area
Set on a large plot backing onto woodland and Croham Hurst Golf Club, this 1930s semi offers space and school‑catchment appeal for growing families. The house provides four bedrooms across two floors, generous principal rooms, an integral single garage and wide driveway with parking for several cars. A circa 120ft rear garden leads to a large garden room currently used as a private gym — useful for home working or leisure.
Practical positives include double glazing fitted after 2002, mains gas boiler and fast broadband speeds. The location is a highlight: very low local crime, quick access to several desirable schools (including Croydon High and Royal Russell), regular buses and nearby train connections, plus local parks and shops within half a mile.
Buyers should note material points: there is only one bathroom for four bedrooms, council tax is high (Band F), and the cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated, which may affect running costs. The property dates from 1930–49 and, while the kitchen appears recently updated, parts of the house will benefit from typical mid‑century updating and an independent services/survey check.
Overall this freehold semi‑detached home suits families seeking generous outdoor space, excellent schooling and scope to modernise. It balances period character and practical living, with clear potential to increase comfort and value through insulation and selective refurbishment.
