5 bedroom semi-detached for sale

Take the pain out of your morning commute with this substantial family-sized semi-detached period property, which enjoys a quiet residential location in the Chatsworth Road Conservation Area, just 10 minutes walk from East Croydons favoured commuter station providing easy access to London Bridge and Victoria in under 15 minutes.

The accommodation, which measures over 2000 square feet including the storage cellar (203sqm), affords an entrance hall, a large 19 x 18 reception room with feature fireplace and a wide square bay window facing the sunny rear garden, a 17 x 15 dining room also with original fireplace at the front of the house, a separate kitchen, a downstairs cloakroom/ shower-room, generous landing with skylight loft access, three double bedrooms all with original fireplaces, two good-sized smaller bedrooms - one with fireplace and a pretty porthole round window, a bathroom and a separate wc.

Externally there is an attractively stocked and landscaped rear garden with a sunny Southerly aspect and a secluded secret garden offering a surprisingly tranquil haven for a property in such a central location. The front garden has been paved to provide off-road parking. Additional parking is available in the road with a residents permit from Croydon Council. A garage very nearby may be available to buy via separate negotiation.

The many bars and eateries of the Restaurant Quarter are just a short stroll away, whilst Boxpark and the town centre are also within very easy reach. Tramlink provides a neat route to Wimbledon with its District Line station and the Overground from West Croydon provides and alternative route towards Docklands avoiding Zone1, as well as East and North London.

For those with children, this grand house is also well placed for a wide choice of good schools and petty Park Hill Park with its tennis courts and childrens playground is just a couple of minutes away. The wider open spaces of Lloyd Park, Coombe Park and Shirley Hills are a 15-20 minute walk away.

Available with no onward chain, the house is now in need of updating, however it retains many stunning original architectural features and would be perfect for those who appreciate charm and character, as well as convenience.
