An Extended And Much Improved Family Home, On A Popular Street Where The
Leafy, Mature Garden Backs Onto The Common. And with a downstairs double
bedroom (with ensuite) it’s perfect if you’ve got someone in the family who struggles
with stairs.

This is a great example of a versatile bay-fronted post war family home that’s been
thoughtfully extended and improved over the years.

It’s now in a superb, move-in-ready condition that will suit a wide range of buyers.
But it may be of particular interest to families where someone has trouble with
stairs. That’s because of the double bedroom on the ground floor, with its own
stylish ensuite shower room.

It may have started out as a built-in single garage but the thoughtful and skilful
conversion makes it feel like an important and integral part of the home, rather than
an afterthought.

On the other side of the hall there’s the traditional two reception rooms you’d
expect. The dining room is at the front and a spacious lounge with patio doors to
the garden is at the rear.

The homely and welcoming kitchen has been extended to create more space in the
high quality oak fitted units.

You can get from the kitchen to the back garden. It’s a southwest facing sun trap
that’s been terraced and landscaped to make the most of the hillside location that
backs onto Riddlesdown Common. The mature, leafy garden has something for
everyone - a paved seating area for the grown-ups and a 20m lawn for the kids to
play on.

Upstairs has three double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a four piece family
bathroom.

There’s parking on the drive next to the neat and tidy front lawn, with plenty of
additional space for on-street parking.

Ingleboro Drive is a popular, family friendly street that’s so handy for both
Riddlesdown and Kenley stations. It’s only a 10 minute walk to Riddlesdown station
and around 15 minutes through the park to Kenley, so if you do need to head into
central London you have a couple of options.

If you need to commute you can catch fast and frequent trains that will get you to
London Bridge or Victoria in around 40 minutes.

There’s plenty to enjoy closer to home, with a great choice of local shops, cafés and
restaurants around 10 minutes drive away on Purley High Street. For an even
greater choice, Croydon town centre is only 20 minutes drive away (or around 15
minutes on the train).

If you have older children, it’s only a 15 minute walk to the “Outstanding”
Riddlesdown Collegiate and a short drive to take younger children to the equally
“Outstanding” Harris Primary Academy.

This is a fantastic example of how a traditional family home can be updated and
improved to cope with our busy modern lives. In particular the conversion of the
garage into an accessible ground floor bedroom (with ensuite) will make it
appealing to families where not everyone can manage the stairs.

I’m expecting plenty of interest in this move-in-ready family home, so call to arrange a viewing.
