Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Stunning Detached Thatched Cottage
  • Brimming with History & Character
  • Luxuriously Finished Interior
  • Very Convenient Location
  • Fully Refurbished In Recent Years
  • Sociable Open Plan Living Area
  • Feature Spiral Staircase
  • Well Kept Private Garden
With its authentic Thatch Roof [re-thatched in 2019], solid wall white walls and a cosy interior, it's fair to say this is a quintessentially English 'chocolate box' cottage. These character features combined with a really attractive fitted kitchen, a modern white bathroom, recently installed double-glazed windows and a handy utility cupboard, create a home that needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.

Believed to have been built around 1720 as one of two “Lodges” at the entrances to Spring Park House and Farm, the property is a quaint and truly delightful residential dwelling. Whilst retaining its character, the accommodation is ideal for modern life and includes an impressive living area open plan to the fitted kitchen, with two bay windows and a dining area making this a great area for socialising and relaxing alike. An attractive spiral staircase leads up to the first floor which houses two bedrooms [with restricted head heights] and a handy first-floor WC.

We feel this home will suit a range of purchasers from young couples right through to those downsizing, and an internal viewing comes highly recommended.

Location
The property can be found set back on the left-hand side of Wickham Road, on the corner of West Way Gardens. This location is convenient for a wealth of amenities including regular bus services to Bromley, West Wickham and Croydon town centres as well as East Croydon mainline railway station which provides fast rail services to London Bridge, London Victoria, Gatwick Airport and many more. Local shops, restaurants, cafes and schools are also within easy reach. For full directions please contact Allen Heritage Estate Agents in Shirley.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on January 14, 2023

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 14, 2023

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
