It’s So Close To The Station You Could Even Strip Some Wallpaper Before Work. This will be perfect if you’re looking for a light property project and put down roots. It’s in a great location, also close to the Common and “outstanding” schools.
If you’re willing to roll your sleeves up and spend a little time with a wallpaper stripper or a paintbrush in hand, this could be your ideal long-term family home.
It does need work - but that’s the exciting part, isn’t it? Consider it a blank canvas - where you can set about transforming it into your forever home.
And when you get to know the area you’re sure to want to stay a while.
The location on Mitchley Avenue is so handy for Riddlesdown Station - it’s just a five minute walk away, where trains will whisk you to London Bridge in around 40 minutes.
It’s also in the catchment area for a couple of “Outstanding” local schools. Both Harris Primary Academy for the under-11’s and Riddlesdown Collegiate for older kids have achieved the highest Ofsted rating.
Both are less than 5 minutes away in the car, under 20 minutes walk or less than 10 minutes by bike.
You can’t spend all weekend decorating or doing DIY, so when you do down tools you’ve got a choice of hitting the shops in Purley (which is less than half an hour to walk or 10 minutes on the bus) or stretching your legs in the beautiful Riddlesdown Common which is only round the corner.
The ground floor has two spacious reception rooms, a small-ish kitchen and a built-in double length garage.
Upstairs has two double bedrooms, a single room, the family bathroom and a separate w/c.
There’s a small front lawn next to the drive and the back garden measures over 20m.
Before embarking on the makeover you may want to think about whether to open up a few ground floor rooms or extend - either at the rear or up into the roof. Or both.
The house does give you plenty to play with. The hall is wide and welcoming, with a lovely original wooden floor. Both reception rooms and the double bedrooms all are a great size, with bay windows which flood the room with light.
Then there’s the potential to convert the built-in double garage. Being so close to the station and the shops you may not need a car - and even if you did, you’ve got the drive and nobody parks their car in the garage these days…
If you’re looking for a “move in and make yourselves at home” property that’s all been done for you, this isn’t going to be right for you.
But if you’re willing to get stuck in and put your own stamp on the place it could be transformed into a superb family home which will serve you well for years to come.
I’m expecting plenty of interest from couples and young families looking for a property with potential just like this - call to arrange a viewing.
