2 bed detached house for sale

Sydenham Road, Croydon CR0

***Landlord's comments*** " A real gem of an oasis. Right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of lively Croydon, yet, as soon as you enter the extensive gardens with many aspects, we could have been anywhere!

We had many garden parties and both our young family and friends thoroughly enjoyed relaxing and playing in our lovely gardens. I say gardens because it is so unusual to find such a large garden in central Croydon and we exploited it to the full. From the rose-covered walkway at the bottom of the right-hand side to relaxing on the decking while watching the children play in the front garden.

But enough of the garden – every amenity you could possibly wish for is just a short stroll away. The food and shopping quarter of Croydon is a 15-minute walk, along with gyms, cinemas and transport links just a 10-minute walk away.

We bought the old beer garden of the Bird in Hand pub as it was going into receivership, then got permission for our architect to design our very own unique development.

Nothing quite like it in the area. With so much garden and parking and a great wow factor.

I actually built the place myself. Took me a few years, as it had to fit in with my full-time job. But when I had finished and moved my family in, we had such a fabulous time.

After a few years, my wife was offered a job opportunity too good to turn down, so we had to move. Not wanting to sell, as we fully intended to return, we gave it to a charity who looked after it, but sadly neglected the garden and decking – but now at least it's a blank canvas for the next lucky owners.

Just been fully redecorated by the charity. It even comes with a few added extras like a fully galvanised storage container, brand new fridge freezer, fitted appliances including a microwave, washing machine, dishwasher and oven with hob. It even has an original bed, handmade by myself!"
