This characterful and substantial detached family home, built circa the 1910, occupies a prime spot in this sought-after road just moments from Lloyd Park Tram Stop, the open green spaces of Lloyd Park, and South Croydon railway station, along with East Croydon being approximately 20 minutes walk away. Combining period charm with generous proportions, the property offers an exciting opportunity for a new owner to enhance and tailor a truly impressive home to their own taste.



Rich in original features, the house retains much of its 1900's character, with elegant detailing and a wonderful sense of space and light throughout. The ground floor accommodation is both plentiful and versatile, centred around a superb lounge ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A separate breakfast room sits alongside the comprehensively fitted kitchen, which offers excellent storage and workspace.

In addition, there is a generous guest suite with its own en-suite, providing ideal accommodation for visitors or older children. A separate family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.



Externally, the property continues to impress with a fabulous rear garden that is level and predominantly laid to lawn, offering ample space for outdoor entertaining and family enjoyment.
