Big Bay-fronted Blank Canvas, Ready To Become Your Dream Home. It Needs Updating But There’s Huge Potential - Including Space To Extend. It’s Family-friendly, With A Choice Of Excellent Schools Nearby, Including Whitgift School.

Big Bay-Fronted Blank Canvas, Ready To Become Your Dream Family Home. It
needs updating but there’s huge potential - including space to extend. It’s
family-friendly, with a choice of excellent schools nearby, including the sought-after
Whitgift School.

If you’re looking for a property with the potential to call home for years to come this
substantial bay-fronted semi could be ideal.

It has a traditional layout, with a large bay fronted lounge, a separate dining room at
the rear and a kitchen / diner with space to sit and eat.

There are many timeless features you’ll want to keep, such as the beautiful wood
flooring and French doors in the dining room.

But there are other fixtures and fittings that you’ll want to update, such as the
kitchen units and worksurfaces.

When planning the project you may consider opening up one or more of the ground
floor rooms to create a more sociable space. That would create a much more
modern layout, able to cope with our hectic family lives.

There’s even scope to extend. The back garden measures almost 20m, with a
paved patio, lawn and mature borders. You could steal a little space (like the next
door neighbours have done) to create a stunning rear extension to link the kitchen
and dining room.

The first floor has four bedrooms, the family bathroom and a separate w/c.
The current layout has a large bay-fronted master bedroom and single bedroom at
the front. There's a double and a single at the rear and the bathroom and w/c in the
middle.

Just like the kitchen, when planning the bathroom upgrade you may want to consider opening up the bathroom and w/c to create one larger, more luxurious space.

And a two storey extension could be equally transformative upstairs.

There’s off street parking for a couple of cars at the front and a built in single garage.

Haling Park Road is a leafy street that’s only a short walk from the South Croydon shops and only 15 minutes walk to the station.

Both Croydon town centre and the Valley Retail Park (including Ikea!) are less than 10 minutes drive away.

And if you prefer to get out into the great outdoors rather than hit the shops, Duppas Hill park is less than 10 minutes walk away. The beautiful Croham Hurst Woods nature reserve is only a 6 minute drive or a 15 minute bike ride away.

If you need to commute into town for a meeting or to hit the West End on a weekend, fast and frequent trains will whisk you from South Croydon in Zone 5 to London Bridge in around half an hour.

You’re spoiled for choice when it comes to high quality local schools, all rated “Good” or “Outstanding” by Ofsted.

Aerodrome Primary Academy is closest, only a 6 minute walk away. Older kids have a little further to travel to the “Outstanding” Harris Academy Purley but it’s less than a 20 minute walk or a quick 5 minute bike ride away.

And if you prefer independent fee paying schools, the highly sought-after Whitgift School is virtually opposite the property, the 45 acre school site being only a few doors down Haling Park Road.

If you’re looking for a move-in ready family home where there’s nothing to do, this substantial semi won’t be for you. But if you’re prepared to roll your sleeves up there’s huge potential to create a fabulous family home that will stand you in good stead for years to come.

I’m expecting plenty of interest so call to arrange a viewing.
