Description

This semi-detached family home, built by Paish Tyler, presents an appealing opportunity for renovation and investment. Comprising three bedrooms, the property is set in a unique location overlooking a spacious central green, surrounded by similar period homes. Its layout features two distinct reception rooms and a fitted kitchen that opens into an "L" shaped conservatory, providing ample space for family living. The interior has been recently refreshed with new decorations throughout and offers a 70-foot west-facing garden that invites natural light and potential for outdoor enhancements. Importantly, there are possibilities for extending the property both to the side and rear (subject to planning approvals), allowing future owners to personalize and increase its value. Located in Shirley Park on a desirable residential street, this property benefits from proximity to a variety of local amenities. Nearby options include shops and public transport links along Shirley Road and Addiscombe Road. Families will appreciate the proximity to well-regarded educational institutions such as St. John's Primary School, Coloma, and Trinity Secondary Schools. Additionally, East Croydon Station is conveniently just a short distance away, offering direct services to Central London. The house features standard brick construction with a tiled roof, adding to its classic appeal. The entrance hall opens into separate reception areas; the first boasts a double-glazed bay window and an ornate fireplace, while the second provides access through sliding doors to the garden. The kitchen includes a comprehensive range of fitted units alongside modern appliances. Upstairs you'll find three well-proportioned bedrooms equipped with fitted wardrobes, alongside essential facilities including a family bathroom with shower over bath and separate WC. The property's outdoor space comprises both front and rear gardens—featuring established shrub boundaries—and offers ample space for gardening or play. Further enhancing this property’s appeal is the garage equipped with power and lighting as well as driveway parking for up to two vehicles. With council tax band E in the London Borough of Croydon and essential utilities readily available, this home stands out not only as a comfortable residence but also as an excellent canvas for further development or investment potential.
