About
This executive-style detached residence occupies a secluded plot within an exclusive private cul-de-sac containing homes of a similar ilk.
Featuring spacious, well-proportioned accommodation over two floors, the property will suit a growing or larger family and offers many positive features.
The bright triple aspect lounge has double doors onto the secluded rear garden, and there is a versatile reception/dining room and a separate study too.
The kitchen/diner offers a more informal dining area, ideal for sociable entertaining and everyday family living.
All five of the bedrooms can be found up on the first floor, all of which have built-in wardrobes, and two benefit from en-suite bathroom/shower facilities.
The family residence has many practical features, including a utility room, a ground-floor cloakroom, and a double garage on the large gravelled front driveway.
This home has obviously been a much-loved family residence over the years and is well worth viewing.
The Enviable Location Oaks Lane is a small private cul-de-sac containing just a handful of similar upmarket detached houses.
This leafy and highly regarded location backing onto playing fields and the golf course is peacefully tucked away, yet numerous amenities can be found close by.
Within a few hundred yards you will find a range of local shops and supermarkets, cafes and restaurants on the Wickham Road.
For the Commuter Close by are bus routes to East Croydon Mainline Station, Bromley and Croydon town centres, as well as Sandilands Tram Stop and West Wickham High Street.
East Croydon Mainline Station provides fast links to London Bridge, London Victoria, Clapham Junction, Gatwick Airport and many others too.
The Tram Link runs between Beckenham and Wimbledon with many stops in between. The new 'Superloop' now provides Shirley with a link to Heathrow Airport and Bromley South.

Schools In The Area There are many schools within easy reach, including St Johns, Trinity, Coloma, Royal Russell and Whitgift.
Future Potential Whilst the property already offers comprehensive accommodation, there is still scope for additions if required.
The double garage could be converted to be used as a home office or gym, the vast loft space could be converted to provide even more bedrooms and bathrooms, and the property could be extended on the ground floorto provide additional reception rooms.
Of course, any improvements of this nature would require the relevant local authority consents.
