Extended 4-bed period home with west garden and driveway in desirable South Shirley.
Extended 'Gower C' four-bedroom semi-detached family home
Set on a peaceful tree-lined stretch of Heathway, this extended Gower C semi-detached home offers spacious, flexible accommodation for a growing family. The ground floor plan flows well for everyday life and entertaining: a large rear lounge, a formal dining room, a fitted kitchen/breakfast area, utility, a useful ground-floor bedroom/study and a separate WC. Upstairs are three generous double bedrooms and a four-piece family bathroom. The secluded west-facing garden and driveway parking add practical family comforts.
Built in the 1930s, the house retains period proportions and features while feeling bright and well presented throughout. The extension has increased the living space and there is clear scope for further enlargement—rear and loft extensions are feasible, and the ground-floor bedroom and utility could create a self-contained annex with the right permissions. Local schools, green spaces and fast links at East Croydon make this location particularly convenient for school runs and commuters.
A few practical points to note: the property currently has an EPC rating of D and the solid brick walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so energy efficiency improvements would be a sensible next step. There is a single family bathroom for four bedrooms and council tax is listed as expensive. These are common for period homes of this size and age but are worth factoring into future running and refurbishment costs.
Overall this is a rare opportunity to buy a sizeable, well-located family home in one of South Shirley’s most sought-after streets. It suits families who want generous living space now with clear potential to add value and tailor the home to changing needs.
