An Extended And Much Improved Family Home, On A Popular Street Where The Leafy, Mature Garden Backs Onto The Common. And with a downstairs double bedroom (with ensuite) it’s perfect if you’ve got someone in the family who struggles with stairs.
This is a great example of a versatile bay-fronted traditional family home that’s been thoughtfully extended and improved over the years.
It’s now in a superb, move-in-ready condition that will suit a wide range of buyers.
But it may be of particular interest to families where someone has trouble with stairs. That’s because of the double bedroom on the ground floor, with its own stylish ensuite shower room.
It may have started out as a built-in single garage but the thoughtful and skillful conversion makes it feel like an important and integral part of the home, rather than an afterthought.
On the other side of the hall there’s the traditional two reception rooms you’d expect. The dining room is at the front and a spacious lounge with patio doors to the garden is at the rear.
The homely and welcoming kitchen has been extended to create more space with high-quality oak style fitted units and a door to the back garden. It’s a southwest-facing sun trap that’s been landscaped making the most of it’s location backing onto Riddlesdown Common. If you have dogs in the family or love to walk you have acres of green space literally on your doorstep!
The mature, leafy garden has something for everyone - 2 patio areas ideal for everything from BBQs to sandpits, and a 20m well maintained lawn.
Upstairs has three double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a four piece family bathroom.
There’s parking on the drive next to the neat and tidy front lawn, with plenty of additional space for on-street parking.
Ingleboro Drive is a popular, family friendly road that’s so handy for both Riddlesdown and Purley stations. It’s only a 5 minute walk to Riddlesdown station and around 20 minutes to Purley, so if you do need to head into central London you have a couple of options.
If you need to commute you can catch fast and frequent trains that will get you to London Bridge or Victoria in around 40 minutes.
There’s plenty to enjoy closer to home, with a great choice of local shops, cafés and restaurants in Riddlesdown and Sanderstead; and Warlingham and Purley are both a 10 minute drive. For an even greater choice, Croydon town Centre is only 20 minutes drive away (or around 15 minutes on the train).
If you have older children, it’s only a 10 minute walk to the “Outstanding” Riddlesdown Collegiate and a short drive to take younger children to the equally “Outstanding” Harris Primary Academy.
This is a fantastic example of how a traditional family home can be updated and improved to cope with our busy modern lives. In particular the conversion of the garage into an accessible ground floor bedroom (with ensuite) which provides an adaptable space suitable for accommodating a variety of modern family needs.
I’m expecting plenty of interest in this move-in-ready family home, so call to arrange a viewing.
