Shirley Way and the Wickham Road are the places to find bus routes to Bromley, Croydon & East Croydon, these include the new SL5 route which provides regular non-stop services to East Croydon mainline station. East Croydon station offers a range of fast rail services serving London Bridge, London Victoria, Clapham Junction, and Gatwick Airport, among many other destinations. The Croydon Tram Link can be connected to at either Sandilands or East Croydon, where destinations such as Beckenham and Wimbledon are easily reached.
Schools In The Area
Schools including St Johns, The Harris Academy at Benson [both primary] are close by, as are secondaries including Orchard Park High School, Coloma, Royal Russell, Shirley High, and Trinity.
Extension Potential
Planning permission was granted in November 2023 for a ground floor extension, making this property a rare find. If even more living space is required, the garage could simply be converted to provide additona space, and there is also the potential to create a ‘granny annex’ style set up. Obviously any improvements that deviate from the orignal permission will require the relevant local authority consents.
