Description

This distinctive Art Deco-style detached residence features five bedrooms and offers considerable renovation and investment potential. Nestled on a prominent corner plot within the desirable Whitgift Foundation Estate, the property is conveniently located within walking distance of the Sandilands tram stop and only a short commute to East Croydon station and Trinity School. Upon entering, you are greeted by a reception hall leading to multiple living spaces, including a double-aspect living room complete with a fireplace and French doors that open up to the rear garden. The dining room/study also benefits from dual aspects and a bay window overlooking the front garden, while a spacious sitting room/garden room provides sliding glass doors that connect to an outdoor terrace. The well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room, measuring 22 feet in length, includes a bay window that frames views of the garden, along with an adjacent utility room featuring a secondary entrance. The home’s upper levels reveal an attractive staircase that leads to a bright landing area with access to a terrace overlooking the front garden. The principal bedroom includes fitted wardrobes, its own balcony, and an en-suite bathroom. Three additional double bedrooms are complemented by both a family bathroom and separate shower room. Notably, bedroom two has stairs leading to an expansive second-floor office/bedroom five, which offers access to a large attic space that measures 31’7" by 25’7", presenting further conversion possibilities (subject to planning permission). The property is enhanced by beautifully landscaped gardens, with the south-facing rear garden being particularly secluded. It features an attractive crazy-paved terrace ideal for outdoor relaxation and is surrounded by mature hedging for added privacy. Parking provisions include an integral garage accessed via a crazy-paved driveway that accommodates several vehicles; there is also potential for expanding this area if needed. Overall, this residence presents not only ample accommodation but also considerable scope for modernization or expansion in what is regarded as one of the more sought-after locations in the area.
