Summary - Old Town, Croydon CR0 1AU
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Period family home with parking and clear renovation potential.
Three bedrooms with average room sizes suitable for family living
This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Old Town, Croydon offers practical family accommodation with strong commuter links and generous parking. The ground floor has a bright open-plan living and dining area, a separate kitchen and a downstairs shower room with WC. Upstairs are three modest bedrooms and a single family bathroom. The plot includes a private rear garden and a large driveway for multiple off-street spaces.
The property is sold at auction using the Modern Method of Auction and must complete within a 56-day Reservation Period. Buyers should note a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.50% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600) plus a Buyer Information Pack fee of £349. Optional additional services may be offered for up to £450; any buyer using a mortgage should check lending suitability and inspect with their lender before bidding.
Practical positives include double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas boiler and radiators, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for homeworking or streaming. The house dates from c.1900–1929 and retains period character; it sits on a decent plot with scope to improve the garden and internal layout to modern family standards.
Important drawbacks are material and location risks: the wider area is very deprived with very high local crime rates, and the property has a medium flooding risk. Walls are solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, so energy-efficiency upgrades are likely needed. Buyers should factor in renovation, potential insurance or security costs, and the auction fees into affordability calculations.
