About
Positioned in the highly regarded Downs Road, this charming three bedroom semi-detached family home offers a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a much-loved property in one of Coulsdon's most desirable residential settings.
Offered to the market with no onward chain, the property has been cherished by the same family for approximately fifty years, a true testament to the warmth and appeal of both the home and its surroundings.
Ideally positioned, the property sits within easy reach of Farthing Downs, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering breath-taking open green spaces and scenic countryside walks right on the doorstep.
To the front, the home enjoys far-reaching views over open countryside, providing a picturesque outlook that truly sets this property apart.
The accommodation is well laid out and offers comfortable family living throughout.
On the ground floor, an entrance hall provides a welcoming introduction to the home, leading to a bright and spacious sitting room to the front aspect, and a dining room to the rear.
The kitchen/breakfast room, also to the rear, is ideal for everyday family life and benefits from direct access to the rear garden.
Rising to the first floor, the property offers two generous double bedrooms and a further single bedroom, all served by a family bathroom and separate WC.
The layout provides a flexible and functional living space well suited to families of all sizes.
Externally, the property benefits from a driveway and garden to the front, a garage offering valuable storage or parking, and an enclosed rear garden, providing a pleasant and private outdoor space ideal for families and those who enjoy spending time outside.
Whilst the property would greatly benefit from modernisation and updating to a purchaser's own taste and specification, it also presents a superb opportunity to extend and enhance.
The site offers considerable scope to extend to the side, rear and into the loft space, subject to site survey and the necessary planning consents, providing the exciting prospect of creating a truly impressive and bespoke family home in this wonderful location.
Homes of this nature, in such an enviable setting and offered with no onward chain, are rarely available.
Early viewing is strongly advised to fully appreciate all that this delightful property has to offer.
