Mill Lane, Croydon, Greater London

Guide price: £325,000 to £340,000

This three-bedroom terraced home offers generous accommodation and is well suited to families, first-time buyers and investors. The property is in need of full modernisation throughout, presenting a real opportunity for a new owner to reconfigure and update the home to their own taste and specification. Buyers should expect a significant programme of works and should budget accordingly.

The ground floor comprises an open-plan reception and dining room with windows to the front and rear, giving flexible space that could be reworked to suit a modern layout. To the rear, the kitchen is fitted with storage and worktop space but is dated and would need replacing, and it leads out to the garden.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a well-proportioned principal bedroom with fitted shelving. The other two bedrooms could serve as children's rooms, guest rooms or a home office. The family bathroom and separate WC are original in style and would need updating.

Externally, the rear garden has a patio area and lawn, and would suit outdoor dining once landscaped to a buyer's own plans. To the front is a bay-fronted façade and an enclosed front garden.

The property is close to local amenities, schools and transport links. Decoration, flooring, the kitchen, the bathroom and the wider fabric of the home will all need attention, and buyers are advised to arrange their own surveys and quotes before proceeding. For the right buyer, this is a chance to put their own stamp on a spacious home and add value over time.
