Unique to the surrounding Conservation Area a sturdily built, Tudor style, Victorian 4/5 bedroom house (plaque dating it 1897 available to buyer) with gas central heating throughout. Situated in a quiet cul de sac running between Park Lane and Chatsworth Road, within a few minutes’ walk of both Croydon centre and East Croydon Station, this lovely home has a beautiful, secluded rear garden and plenty of private (tiled) parking to the front. A tiled plot to the side, currently used for additional parking, is ripe for conversion to an attached extension or perhaps a standalone mobile home. The owners were told by a Planning Officer some years ago that there would be no problem obtaining consent for even a 2-story extension. Anything undertaken would of course be STPP.

Ground Floor: Traditional, part-glazed front door leading to storm porch with original mosaic tiled floor. Glazed, traditional style door to inner, L-shaped hallway leading to all downstairs rooms, including a spacious under-stair cupboard and a 2-piece cloakroom. As you walk in, to the right is a large sitting/dining room, open plan and separated only by an original pitch pine beam marking where it was originally divided. The hallway, cloakroom and second ‘reception’ room all have Amtico engineered wood click-lock flooring while the sitting/dining room, staircases and bedrooms are all carpeted. The hallway is lighted by a 3-arm chandelier to match those in the living/dining room.

The (front) dining area contains a full wall of low-level built-in, shelved storage cupboards. The very large front bay window has 3 separate, small-slatted Venetian blinds to control the very sunny aspect.

The rear sitting area has a gas-coal fire set in a traditional (iron and tile) fireplace set in an antique pine surround with pine over-mantle and black slate hearth. There is large glazed rear door access to a glass-roofed balcony-style, quarry tiled sun porch giving, in turn, access to the attractive, well-maintained garden, and allowing this end of the long open plan living area to be bathed in sunshine. There are matching 5-arm (dimmable), traditional glass chandeliers in the sitting and dining area.

A fully-paved patio gives access across the rear and around the left side of the house to a large (secure) storage area abutting the kitchen and second reception room. This room is currently used as an office, and could easily be used as a fifth bedroom. As with all front-facing windows, it has double glazing and fitted, small-slatted Venetian blinds. It also has an in-built cupboard with shelves over.

The rear garden has an abundance of flower beds and mature trees, including two Victoria Plum and an apple tree as well a very good size lawn. There is a large, wooden weather-proof structure in the garden, currently used for document storage but easily suitable as conversion to a summer or play house. Behind that, there is a currently ‘wild’ area, suitable for kitchen garden or children’s play equipment area (e.g. slide, swing etc.).

The kitchen contains an antique pine dresser, matching table and chairs and all usual appliances (double electric oven, gas hob and extractor/light, full dishwasher, stainless steel 1.5 bowl sink and various cupboards and drawers. The flooring is vinyl for ease of maintenance. There is potential for an extension to the side storage area.

The pine (carpeted) staircase to the first floor leads first to a shower room with toilet, large basin and, worktop, underneath which is a double cupboard with plenty of space for toiletries, detergent etc. Off t
