Westbury Road, Croydon

A substantial three bedroom period home offering 1209 sq ft of accommodation over three floors, in need of full renovation and offered as a project for investors, developers and buyers wanting to create something to their own specification.

The house has been in the same hands for many years and needs modernising from top to bottom, including new kitchen and bathroom fittings, rewiring, replastering and full redecoration. The upside is that a buyer is not paying for someone else's finish, and there is room to add real value in an area where finished houses of this size are in steady demand.

The layout works well for family living or for a considered conversion, subject to the necessary planning permission and consents. The raised ground floor has a bay fronted reception room and a bedroom, the lower ground floor holds a separate dining room, kitchen, bathroom and WC with direct access to the garden, and the first floor has two further bedrooms and a WC.

Period detail has survived in good measure, with bay windows, deep skirtings, cornicing and original fireplace surrounds still in place. The rear garden extends to around 59 feet and it is a generous plot with mature trees and a good deal of potential once cleared.

Westbury Road is well placed for Croydon town centre, with West Croydon station and the tram network within easy reach and East Croydon a little further for fast trains to London Victoria, London Bridge, St Pancras via Thameslink and Gatwick. Local shops, schools and green space are all close by. Please get in touch to arrange a viewing.
