Canterbury Road, Croydon, Greater London

A two-bedroom terraced house, offered chain-free and presented as a blank canvas for someone to make their own.

The layout is the sort that actually works day to day. There are two separate reception rooms on the ground floor, the front one with a bay window, so you get a good sized sitting room and a second space that can be a dining room, home office or an extra bedroom if you need one. The kitchen sits at the back with a door out to the garden.

There is also a downstairs WC, which is a small thing until you live without one. It saves the trip upstairs and makes a real difference when you have guests or children in the house.

Upstairs you will find two double bedrooms and the family bathroom. Plenty of houses on this stretch still have the bathroom tucked off the kitchen, so having it on the first floor with the bedrooms is worth noting.

The rooms are light, neutrally decorated and in good order, with wood flooring through much of the house. Everything is in place to move into as it is, and there is nothing stopping you adding your own finishes over time.

The rear garden is a good width throughout, with mature trees at the top end. It is ready for planting or landscaping however you see fit. There is a further enclosed garden to the front.

Canterbury Road sits just off London Road, so the shops, supermarkets and cafés are on your doorstep, and there is a day nursery directly opposite. West Croydon station is a short walk for Overground and Southern services into London Bridge and Victoria, and the tram network puts Wimbledon and Beckenham within easy reach. Croydon town centre, Wandle Park and a good choice of primary schools are all close by.
