The Agents Opinion:
Approached by a mature garden forecourt to the front, this attractive L shaped, gable-fronted Bungalow offers well-planned and practical accommodation. This includes two double bedrooms, a modestly extended Living Room, a fitted Kitchen, a Bathroom and separate W.C.; all situated directly off a most welcoming Reception Hallway. We believe that the Bungalow may offer scope for conversion of the loft space, based upon some neighbouring properties, to provide further accommodation; this would, of course, be subject to planning and building regulations approval.
One of the primary features of this Bungalow is its thoughtfully landscaped Rear Garden, which enjoys a south-westerly aspect and benefits from direct gated access onto the Farthing Downs and New Hill.
Location Map:
Situation:
Mead Way is a residential road on the approach to the heart of Old Coulsdon Village. The subject property is on the favoured south-westerly side of the road, where the gardens back onto the Farthing Downs and New Hill at the rear. The Village offers many local amenities including a number of churches; the Tudor Rose Restaurant and Public House; and various members sports clubs. Old Coulsdon also benefits from a parade of shops which includes, among other things, a sub-Post Office and general grocery store.
Local bus services connect the neighbouring towns; and Coulsdon South railway station is approximately one and a half miles away, providing regular services into central London via East Croydon; as well as the Sussex coast via Redhill and Gatwick Airport. The M23/M25 network is approximately four miles by car.
There are several areas of popular open spaces nearby including The Farthing Downs and New Hill which lies just beyond the Rear Garden via a private gated access. The area is very well served by schools for all ages; including the popular Keston Primary School and Coulsdon C. of E. School, both located within a mile.

Rear Garden: The Rear Garden of the Bungalow is a particular feature offering a mature and secluded south-westerly aspect, thoughtfully landscaped into three levelled tiers comprising one or two "nooks n crannies". Here is a selection of photographs taken from a variety of positions:
Immediately adjoining the back of the Bungalow is a paved sun-patio area, bordered by attractive stone and brick twin retaining walls with iron railings and forming a paved pathway on the approach to a raised levelled lawned area.
The first lawn (measuring approximately 15ft x 25ft) is secluded and mature having well-stocked beds and hedge-rows mainly to the boundaries. An arched trellis and side pathway lead through to the final tier of the Garden which is well shaded and hosts the garden shed, the greenhouse, a composting area and, of course, the gated access onto the Farthing Downs and New Hill.
