Grown-Ups Will Love How Close This Quirky Semi Is To The “Outstanding” Harris Primary Academy. Kids Will Love The Secret Bookcase Bedroom! This surprisingly spacious, fun family home has something for everyone who can keep an open mind.

1a Haling Road may have a bay window at the front but it isn’t a traditional semi.

Far from it.

It has an unusual layout and unique style that won’t be for everyone...but it could be perfect for an open-minded couple or young family, especially when you add in the fabulous location.

You enter from the side and step into an open-plan living room and dining room. The bay window at the front lets in plenty of light and the stairs in the middle creates a natural divide to give each room its own identity and style.

The kitchen gets the blend of old and new just right. The shaker-style units, gorgeous floor tiles and Belfast sink provide a fabulous contrast to the modern built-in oven and hob.

The family bathroom is at the rear, it’s a luxurious space where you can enjoy a morning shower or a relaxing soak at the end of a busy day.

There’s also a stylish shower room on the first floor, along with three bedrooms - not that you’d immediately realise this!

The two double bedrooms are pretty obvious but it’s the unexpected smallest bedroom that will cause the children (and plenty of big kids!) to fall in love with the place.

If you promise not to tell anyone i’ll let you into the secret...the 3rd bedroom is hidden behind a ‘bookcase’ on the landing!

The secret single bedroom isn’t the only hidden treat - there’s a handy basement/cellar (accessed through a hatch in the lounge) that gives extra storage.

There’s a surprising amount of outside space too. There’s room to park the car on the drive at the front and a private west-facing garden with a small patio seating area and a lawn.

If you’ve got young kids (who’ve fallen in love with the bookcase bedroom) they can enjoy a long lie-in as it won’t take very long to get to school in the morning.

The “Outstanding” Harris Primary Academy is literally a few doors down Haling Road. You could probably leave the house at 8.58 and still make it in time for morning registration!

It’s not just handy for school. It’s also less than 10 minutes walk to South Croydon station, where fast and frequent trains will whisk you from Zone 5 to London Bridge in 20 minutes.

Haling Road is only a 10-minute drive or a 15-minute bus journey to a great selection of big-name shops, cafés and restaurants in Croydon town centre.

And if you prefer smaller independent shops and cafés there’s plenty to keep both browsers and foodies happy in the nearby South End.

The beautiful Croham Hurst Woods nature reserve is less than 20 minutes walk away.

The ancient woodland covers a rather steep hill. The climb to the top is satisfyingly breathless but the rewards will be worth it - thanks to the breathtaking panoramic views.

This certainly isn’t your typical three-bedroom bay-fronted semi!

It’s got plenty of unique features that won’t be for everyone. But then again you may just fall in love with its quirky layout and sense of fun.
