Description
This freehold three-bedroom semi-detached house has a generous two-storey layout, with two reception rooms and a kitchen opening onto the rear garden. The ground floor also includes a bathroom and WC, while a further bathroom serves the first floor. A basement or cellar provides additional storage.
The accommodation includes two double bedrooms and a third bedroom. The property is described as requiring updating, offering scope for a buyer to refurbish the existing rooms to their requirements. Outside, there is a private rear garden of approximately 30ft, a semi-detached garage and off-street parking via a shared driveway.
The location is within reach of South Croydon and Selsdon amenities, with South Croydon, Purley Oaks and Sanderstead stations, local bus routes, schools and nearby green spaces also noted in the particulars. Offered through the Modern Method of Auction, the sale involves a reservation agreement and fee, so buyers should review the auction terms and information pack before proceeding.

Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £350,000, this three-bedroom South Croydon semi-detached is priced at about £230 per sq ft, around half the local average—a standout acquisition opportunity for someone ready to take on a substantial project. The two-reception layout, bay window, ground-floor bathroom, cellar, parking and garage give the renovation a useful foundation, while the visible brick frontage and tiled roof appear broadly intact.
The interiors need a heavy, multi-room programme: finishes are worn, walls are marked or stained in several rooms, and the kitchen and bathroom areas are in poor decorative condition. There is also loose brickwork, debris and overgrowth in the visible side/rear access area. The scope offers room to reshape and finish the house to your own taste, but this is a full-scale project rather than a cosmetic refresh. The listing describes a modern method of auction; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Key opportunities
- Use the two-reception layout, bay window and cellar as a flexible base for a tailored family home, while retaining the useful ground-floor bathroom.
- The worn kitchen and bathroom areas offer scope for a substantial redesign and coordinated finish rather than piecemeal cosmetic updates.
- The stated private garden, garage and parking add practical value; clearing and improving the visible side/rear access area could make the outside feel more usable.
Key risks
- Stripped-back finishes, damaged walls and worn floors across several rooms point to a heavy full-interior programme; plan for a longer, more involved job than a cosmetic refresh.
- Loose bricks, debris and overgrowth are visible around the front and side/rear access areas; their extent and any underlying cause should be checked.
