Description

This historic former vicarage presents a remarkable opportunity for those looking to invest in a spacious property with vast potential for refurbishment. Set on a generous plot away from the main road, it boasts an expansive west-facing garden that enhances its appeal. The home, believed to date back to the mid-20th century, offers substantial living space of approximately 1,720 sq. ft (158.9 sq. m) comprising a welcoming entrance hall, a triple-aspect living room with patio access to the garden, kitchen, dining room, study, and cloakroom on the ground floor. The first floor features four well-sized double bedrooms alongside a bathroom and a separate WC. Additionally, this property includes a single garage and various useful storage areas. A notable highlight is the large outbuilding (477 sq ft), which has been used as an office and is equipped with electricity and plumbing—providing excellent options for future development pending planning approval. While the home requires thorough updating throughout, it is an ideal canvas for buyers wishing to personalize their family residence according to their tastes. The existing layout and extensive grounds offer ample opportunities for reconfiguration or expansion, subject to necessary planning consents. Situated conveniently between Selhurst and South Norwood, it enjoys easy access to local amenities including Aldi and Sainsbury’s for groceries. Transport links are exceptional with Norwood Junction just 0.3 miles away; regular services run to London Bridge in as little as 13 minutes alongside multiple bus routes servicing the area. Properties like this seldom hit the market—offering scale, seclusion, and incredible investment potential in this sought-after South London locale.
