Built For Edwardian Families, Updated For Busy Modern Families. This substantial semi has room to get together and with three storeys and a secluded back garden, there’s plenty of space when you need to do your own thing.

This impressive semi-detached home may have been built at the start of the 20th century but it’s been tastefully updated and improved since then.

It strikes just the right balance of period charm and modern design, with plenty of scope for you to make your own mark when the time is right.

It’s set back from the street with a neat low maintenance front garden.

When you step into the hall, one of the first things you’ll notice are the beautifully reclaimed wooden floors. These continue throughout the ground floor and to the two upper floors. They combine well with the crisp white colour scheme to exude timeless class.

The spacious ground floor serves as the heart of the home, where high ceilings and large windows invite natural light to dance across the rooms, creating an inviting atmosphere for family get-togethers or entertaining guests.

The two charming ground floor reception rooms have been opened up to create one more open and sociable space (with French doors leading from the dining room to the back garden).

That said, there’s every chance that family and friends will choose to congregate in the kitchen with plenty of space and room for a six setting dining table and chairs.

The secluded back garden has a patio seating area, a neat lawn and borders and even a wooden summerhouse at the end of the garden so you can make the most of the afternoon and late evening sun.

The first floor has three double bedrooms - the front bedroom with the bay window being particularly large.

There’s also a stylish and modern shower room.

The top floor has been thoughtfully designed to create a modern and versatile space. There’s a bathroom and a large bedroom with a pull down double bed, fitted wardrobes and given the alternative is a trek down two flights of stairs - the all important wine cooler!

There’s plenty of room for the whole family spread across the three floors with hidden depths in the practical cellar (accessed from the kitchen) - it’s not quite a habitable room…but it will be so handy for storage.

As a family-friendly property it’s good to know that you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to high quality schools.

There’s a choice of independent fee paying schools in Croydon, including the nearby Whitgift School. But with all the local schools being rated either “Good” or “Outstanding” by Ofsted you may not feel the need to pay fees.

St Peter’s Primary School is closest, being only a pleasant 5 minute walk away.

Older kids have a little further to travel to the “Outstanding” Harris Academy but it’s less than a 30 minute walk or a quick 10 minute bike ride away.

It’s only a 10 minute drive to a great selection of big name shops, cafés and restaurants in Croydon town centre.

And if you prefer to get out into the great outdoors, the beautiful Croham Hurst Woods nature reserve is 10 minutes walk away at the end of Selsdon Road.

The beautiful ancient woodland covers a rather steep hill. The climb to the top is satisfyingly breathless but the rewards will be worth it - thanks to the breathtaking panoramic views.

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.

This is a beautiful, grown-up family home that’s been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated. It will be perfect for a large family looking for a spacious and versatile home.

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