This truly impressive family home, a highly regarded ‘Gower C’ is well presented and has been cleverly extended to the side. In one of the most desirable roads on the South side of Shirley, the interior of this delightful family home offers versatile and bright accommodation that can be used to suit the needs of the individual family. The sensibly laid out ground floor offers the perfect spaces for entertaining family and friends, relaxing, working from home, hosting guests, and for everyday family life. The large lounge, which measures 17' overlooks the rear garden, the dining room at the front, and a fitted kitchen/breakfast room with a doorway through to the handy utility room. There is also a fourth bedroom on the ground floor, which can be used as a study, a guest room, or an additional reception room. Three double bedrooms can be found on the first floor alongside the luxurious four-piece family bathroom. A secluded garden can be found at the rear, which enjoys a westerly aspect, there is ample off-street parking on the driveway, and a downstairs WC too. Rarely do properties of this calibre and this well-located come onto the market, so call now to book a viewing and appreciate the quality of home on offer here. Highly Recommended.
The Enviable Location
The property can be found on the peaceful Heathway, and with it's well-kept small central green and mature trees, it is not difficult tosee why this is widely considered one of the finest locations on the South Side of Shirley. Local shops, restaurants, and cafes are within easy reach on Wickham Road, with the bustling West Wickham High Street around 0.75 of a mile away providing a plethora of shopping and recreational facilities. The delightful Millers Pond is just around the corner, and with many woodland walks nearby, it is the ideal location for families and downsizers alike.
Transport Links
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.
The Gower C
This style of house is known locally as the Gower C. Held in high regard due to the quality of build, this is a fine example of the 1930s architecture and construction, particularly impressive about this design is the size of the reception rooms and genuine double bedrooms. The extension carried out here has added to this enviable architectural success.
Further Extension Potential
Whilst the property already benefits from extended, comprehensive accommodation, there is scope for further additions to the rear of the property and into the loft space, if even more living space is required. There is also potential to convert the ground floor bedroom and utility room to create a ‘granny annex’ style set up. Obviously any improvement of this nature will require the relevant local authority consents.
