Mayo Road, Croydon, Greater London

Livin are pleased to offer to the market this handsome two bedroom end of terrace Victorian home on Mayo Road, a quiet residential turning tucked just off the main routes into central Croydon.

The house has been well looked after and carries its period proportions comfortably. High ceilings, generous window openings and a sensible layout give it a sense of space that newer homes of the same size rarely manage, and being end of terrace, with a gap to the side, it enjoys a little more breathing room than its neighbours.

You enter directly into the front reception room, currently arranged as a dining room, with fitted shelving built into the alcove beside the chimney breast and a bright window to the front. Beyond it sits a second reception room, comfortable and softly lit, with its own chimney breast, alcoves either side and space enough for a full corner sofa and a wall mounted television.

The kitchen sits at the rear, fitted with white gloss units, solid wood worktops, integrated oven and extractor, and space for a washing machine and fridge freezer. A door opens straight out to the garden, which makes summer cooking and everyday coming and going far easier than most terraces of this era allow.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms. The principal room is a good double at the front, calm in soft greys and warm enough to feel restful. The second bedroom is currently set up as a study and guest room combined, with room for a full wardrobe, a desk under the window and a sofa bed, so it works equally well as a nursery, a spare room or a permanent home office.

The bathroom completes the first floor, finished in deep blue with a separate shower enclosure, wall mounted basin, WC and a frosted window bringing in natural light.

The rear garden is the real find here. Measuring approximately 68ft, it offers a composite decked terrace by the back door, a stepping stone path running the length of it, a raised planting bed and a further seating area at the far end. There is genuine scope to plant it out, add a garden room or simply enjoy the space as it is.

To the front there is a walled patio and permit parking on the road.

Mayo Road is well placed for anyone who commutes. Thornton Heath, Selhurst and West Croydon stations are within walking distance, giving quick access to London Bridge, Victoria and Wimbledon. London Road offers a broad range of shops, cafes and everyday amenities, while Croydon town centre, Boxpark and the Whitgift and Centrale shopping centres are all within easy reach.

A characterful period home with two reception rooms, a long garden and excellent transport links. Please get in touch to arrange a viewing.
