Description

This charming semi-detached home, first occupied in 1926, presents a unique opportunity for buyers seeking a property with character and potential. Located on a desirable avenue in Coulsdon, this double-fronted residence boasts an elevated position, complete with its own driveway and detached garage. The home has been cherished by just five owners over the past century, reflecting a rich history and genuine original features alongside some modern updates. The spacious accommodation includes four bedrooms, two reception rooms, and a kitchen/breakfast room, all of which are currently liveable but would benefit from updating to align with contemporary lifestyles. There's ample scope to reconfigure and modernise the layout while preserving the unique charm that defines this property. The generous plot also offers exciting potential for extensions, subject to the usual planning permissions. Outside, the property features a lovely garden complemented by a small shed, greenhouse, and pond, enhancing the outdoor space. This is not just another 1920s semi; it stands as an individual home on a prestigious avenue, surrounded by other distinctive properties. For those looking for a project that combines character, space, and potential, this is a fantastic opportunity to become the sixth owner of this beloved home.

Confidence: LOW

This charming semi-detached house, originally built in 1926, is bursting with character and history, making it a unique opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a home with substantial potential. While the asking price of £750,000 may appear on the high side compared to the local average, this property offers a distinctive charm that can be enhanced through thoughtful renovation.

With a renovation range estimated between £40,000 and £80,000, buyers can envision transforming this space to align it with contemporary living while preserving its unique character.
