About
Positioned on Alton Road, this substantial five/six-bedroom semi-detached family home offers an impressive 1,835 sq ft (170.4 sq m) of versatile accommodation arranged across three floors.
Combining generous living space with excellent commuter links, a peaceful garden and an incredibly flexible layout, this is a home perfectly suited to growing families looking to settle in a well-connected residential location.
The property immediately impresses with its spacious 26-foot through lounge and dining room, providing an excellent setting for everyday family life while offering plenty of room for entertaining.
Its generous proportions create a natural heart to the home, with ample space for both formal dining and relaxed family living.
To the rear, the 14ft kitchen provides a practical and well-proportioned space for family cooking, while a separate utility room and ground floor WC add valuable functionality.
Beyond the kitchen, the conservatory overlooks the rear garden and provides another versatile reception space perfect as a playroom, informal dining area, family room or simply somewhere to enjoy the garden throughout the year.
One of the property's greatest strengths is its flexibility.
The first floor provides three well-proportioned bedrooms alongside a versatile office/Bedroom 6, while the loft conversion extends the accommodation further, creating two additional bedrooms and a separate shower room on the second floor.
The loft conversion also gives the home a particularly versatile layout, allowing the upper floor to function almost independently from the main family accommodation below.
Whether used for older children, visiting family members, guests or simply as additional personal space, it adds a valuable dimension to this already substantial family home.
Outside, the property continues to impress. The good-sized, quiet rear garden provides a lovely private setting for children to play, family gatherings and summer entertaining.
Adding further versatility is a summer house with working electricity, offering an excellent opportunity for a home office, hobby room, children's den, gym or creative studio.
For commuters, the location is a particular highlight.
Waddon Station is approximately a five-minute walk away, providing convenient rail connections towards London and the surrounding areas, including services towards London Bridge and Victoria.
The combination of local rail connections and proximity to Croydon's wider transport network makes this an appealing choice for those needing regular access into London
