Description

This substantial detached period home presents a prime opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with considerable renovation potential. Set on a generous plot of nearly half an acre, the home enjoys a favorable position facing the expansive green spaces of Manor Park, making it an appealing choice in a well-regarded neighborhood. Spanning just over 2,700 sq ft, this residence offers ample space that can be completely reimagined. With its adaptable layout, it invites creative design possibilities for both comprehensive renovations and significant extensions (subject to planning permission). This is an ideal chance to transform the existing structure into a bespoke family home tailored to modern living. The property features a substantial driveway accommodating multiple vehicles, leading directly to a detached double garage. Upon entering, you're welcomed by a spacious entrance hall that connects to a guest cloakroom. The ground floor layout includes two interconnected rooms at the front that currently function as a family room and study. At the rear, you'll find an eat-in kitchen alongside a practical utility room with direct access to outdoors. A sizable dining room flows into the main reception area—an inviting space measuring 28 feet, complete with a charming bay window overlooking the mature garden. On the upper level, five bedrooms provide comfortable living spaces for families. The principal suite boasts an en-suite bathroom, while the additional four bedrooms share access to the family bathroom. The expansive rear garden offers privacy and tranquility, predominantly laid to lawn with established borders. This outdoor space not only enhances the property's appeal but also holds potential for further development (subject to planning approval), including possibilities for extending the house or even creating an additional dwelling at the rear with possible dual access. Located on Burntwood Lane near Caterham on the Hill, this property is conveniently positioned close to reputable schools such as Audley and Essendene Primary Schools. Commuters will appreciate easy access to major transport routes including the M25 and Gatwick Airport, along with Caterham's town center providing shops and mainline rail services offering direct connections to London Bridge and Victoria in approximately 45 minutes. With its blend of location benefits and investment potential through renovation and development opportunities, this home represents an intriguing prospect for discerning buyers.
