This characterful and substantial detached family home, built circa the 1910, occupies a prime spot in this sought-after road just moments from Lloyd Park Tram Stop, the open green spaces of Lloyd Park, and South Croydon railway station, along with East Croydon being approximately 20 minutes walk away. Combining period charm with generous proportions, the property offers an exciting opportunity for a new owner to enhance and tailor a truly impressive home to their own taste.
Rich in original features, the house retains much of its 1900's character, with elegant detailing and a wonderful sense of space and light throughout. The ground floor accommodation is both plentiful and versatile, centred around a superb lounge ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A separate breakfast room sits alongside the comprehensively fitted kitchen, which offers excellent storage and workspace. For those seeking a more contemporary layout, there is clear potential to open up these areas to create a stunning open-plan family hub, perfect for modern day-to-day living and hosting guests. Also to the ground floor is a large study which can be used as bedroom 6 for those requiring ground floor bedroom or work space as this room enjoys a spacious en-suite bathroom.
A grand landing on the first floor leads to five well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive retreat, complete with a large en-suite bathroom and a full range of fitted wardrobes. In addition, there is a generous guest suite with its own en-suite, providing ideal accommodation for visitors or older children. A separate family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.
Externally, the property continues to impress with a fabulous rear garden that is level and predominantly laid to lawn, offering ample space for outdoor entertaining and family enjoyment. The garden backs directly onto the playing fields of Coombe Wood School, affording an attractive open outlook and a wonderful sense of privacy.
A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period home in a highly convenient and desirable location, ready to be reimagined for modern family living.
Melville Avenue is a sought after road very close to Lloyd Park tram stop offering quick access to East Croydon train station. Lloyd Park with the adjoining playing field and Addington Hills provide over 300 acres of green space walking without getting into the car! Within less than ten minutes drive there are more than five golf clubs: Croham Hurst, Shirley Park, Addington Palace, The Addington, Farleigh Court and Addington Court. The property is well located for those needing to commute but at the same time looking for close proximity to popular and highly regarded schools to include Croydon High, Whitgift, Royal Russell and Ridgeway Primary schools. Buses pass close by providing further transport options for accessing Central Croydon which provides a comprehensive range of shopping and entertainment facilities. The M25 junction 6 is located at Godstone / Caterham and provides access to both Gatwick and Heathrow airports, Bluewater Shopping Centre and the south coast.
