Description

This substantial double fronted family residence offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Situated behind secure gates with a sweeping loop driveway and a sun-drenched south/south-west facing garden, the property is designed with flexible living spaces that cater to both family activities and entertaining guests. The ground floor features a central kitchen/diner that flows into a spacious living room, study, and an expansive conservatory. Upstairs, there are four generously sized double bedrooms alongside a modern family bathroom. The rear garden is both private and established, boasting a large patio area perfect for outdoor gatherings. Located conveniently with access to various bus routes on Gravel Hill and proximity to the Gravel Hill tram stop providing direct links to key destinations such as East Croydon station and central London. Families will appreciate the nearby local schools including Trinity and Royal Russell among others, while shopping amenities are just a short drive away. While the home has numerous appealing features such as an inviting porch, cloakroom, fitted kitchen with high-quality appliances, multiple double glazed windows throughout, and well-appointed bathrooms, it also presents significant potential for further enhancement or even extension (subject to planning permission). With an established garage that includes power supply, ample parking for several vehicles on the blocked paved driveway enhances its appeal as both a family home or investment project.
