4 bed semi-detached house for sale in Northampton Road, Croydon, CR0 (ref: 37893043)

Nestled on a tree-lined road in one of Addiscombe's most sought-after locations, this comfortable yet grand 4-bedroom semi-detached home, built in 1925, retains many original Arts & Crafts era features. With a feature staircase, beautifully stained glass windows, and attractive fireplaces, this property exudes character and charm at every turn.

As you step through the entrance, you'll be greeted by an impressive hallway that leads to a spacious 30+ foot reception room, opening onto a large, secluded rear garden. The garden is a delight, featuring mature trees, including apple, magnolia, cordyline, and lilac, as well as a rubber-surfaced patio and a charming pine playhouse. Additionally, neighbouring properties have summerhouses, offering inspiration for adding even more outdoor space.

The practical kitchen/diner is complemented by a utility room, fitted with an Elfa shelving system and a washing machine. Other features of the home include a downstairs WC, off-street parking for two cars, and privacy both at the front and back of the property.

Upstairs, you’ll find four spacious bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. The home boasts excellent potential for further expansion with the option to convert the huge loft space—plans from the neighbouring property are available for reference. The property is also fitted with energy-efficient solar panels, generating significant Feed-In Tariff payments, with annual returns of over £1,000.

While the property has been thoughtfully maintained and updated with investments including a Worcester Bosch boiler, new hip and ridge roof tiles, solar panel installation, refitted bathrooms, a new consumer unit, and replaced porch, it could benefit from some light cosmetic updating in places, making it a blank canvas for the next owners to truly make it their own.

The home benefits from its proximity to excellent transport links, with Addiscombe and Sandilands tram stops just a short stroll away, providing easy access to East Croydon Station and central London. The vibrant Lower Addiscombe Road high street, local parks, and top-rated state and private schools are also just a few minutes' walk away, adding to the area's appeal.

With its prime location, strong community ties, and blend of period character and modern convenience, this home truly offers the perfect balance for family living. An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all it has to offer.
