The Agents Opinion:
This represents a golden opportunity for those buyers wishing to acquire a Family Home which requires renovation and updating entirely to suit their own tastes! Located directly opposite the gated entrance onto the Farthing Downs and New Hill, countryside walks are only a "stones throw" away.
We believe that the property remains in its original arrangement with no extensions, and therefore offers still more potential to undertake such works with the consent of the Local Authority Planning and Building Control Departments. Whilst the property has gas fired central heating via radiators and sealed unit double glazing, more modern decoration, together with new kitchen and bathroom suites, would be considered a great enhancement. There is also an attached Garage and driveway for off street parking to the front of the House.
Location Map:
Situation:
The house is situated a little over half-way along Mead Way directly opposite the gated entrance onto The Farthing Downs and New Hill, on the approach to Old Coulsdons Village centre, approximately 650 yards from the house. This provides, among other things, a sub-Post Office and a general grocery store.
For more comprehensive shopping and leisure facilities local bus services connect the neighbouring towns of Caterham, Purley and central Croydon. Coulsdon South railway station is approximately a mile away and provides regular services into central London via East Croydon, as well as the Sussex coast via Redhill and Gatwick Airport. The M23/M25 network is also approximately four miles by car.
There are several areas of popular open spaces nearby including Bradmore Green and Pond, The Farthing Downs and Coulsdon Common. The area is very well served by schools for all ages including the popular Keston Primary School and Coulsdon C. of E. School, both within half a mile.
