*Vendor's comments:* "Coventry Road was our first house purchase and I have lots of happy memories there, we even all survived lockdown living together in it! Seb and I enjoyed having the back bedroom because of all the natural light and being able to look out over the garden. We never quite got around to it but we always thought the space to the side, back or loft may be good extension options.

South Norwood has lots to offer - Marilia and I used to be stallholders at Clocktower Market which is monthly and includes food, arts and other goods made by local residents. I also love how close the house is to South Norwood Country Park - great for walks and Park Run. The tenants who have lived there for the last couple of years also said they enjoyed the area. And if you want to get into central London the trains to London Bridge are regular and speedy!

I grew up in South Norwood, spending 30 years in the area. I have seen the area change a lot, with more cafes, bars and independent businesses opening up in recent years, with a lot of interesting places to visit. From a community perspective, there are community markets and groups that have protected the public library, groups beautifying and protecting the landscape and local food and music festivals.

There are of course good connections to London, Croydon, Crystal Palace and Brighton, but also a lot of history and green spaces to explore locally. For history buffs, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle lived on Tennison Road and Crystal Palace Football Club is experiencing an exciting revival. For nature lovers, you are spoilt for choice with many parks, walks and a short drive to the countryside. If you want the hubbub of London at your fingertips, but also a closer connection to nature, South Norwood is a good place to live, whilst riding the exciting community-led movement taking place at the moment.

I'll always keep this home close to my heart as it was our first home, and where we all shared amazing memories, from painting the walls in the early days with our friends in exchange for a couple of cans of beer and a takeaway to summer BBQs in our garden, the memories are hard to pick from!

As we settled in our house, I'd say what I appreciated the most was both the peace felt in the house, like quiet weekend mornings reading a book in a living room filled with natural light, but also the lovely walks to the nearby green areas and parks, like South Norwood lake or Crystal palace.

The house itself is set in a fantastic location, it was a privilege to have such a lovely space, with a garden but to be able to go into central London or the airport in a matter of minutes. I hope more good memories will be made in this lovely house!"
