3 bed Semi-Detached House - Offer Accepted, Guide Price £500,000

Property Description

***Vendor's comments:*** "When I first started looking for a house I had quite a specific specification. I wanted a period property, with a garden, off street parking, three double bedrooms, great transport links to central London and in an area of London I believed would hold value, and had the potential to increase in value given the right economic factors. I was looking for many months all over London and at every viewing came a compromise. It got to the stage that when I was looking for properties I would just go straight to the floor plan as I didn't want to get my hopes up with some nice pictures, just to find out the bathroom was on the ground floor behind the kitchen!

I bought Alexandra road because even though it was slightly over my budget at the time, it was a property without compromise. I want to say you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a property with 3 double bedrooms, but if you're reading this you probably already know! 

One of the best things about living in East Croydon is that I can get into central London so quickly. During rush hour there's a fast train to either Victoria on London Bridge every 3 minutes. The cherry on the cake is that if it's a Thameslink train, I always get a seat too! That's no exaggeration. It actually took me longer to get to work when I lived in zone 2 and had to pack myself into a train like a well groomed sardine.

I've lived here for 5 years, and I still get a sense of awe and pride with my home. The Victorian features do not tire over time. There is something about a house of this style which just makes it feel like a home, in which a flat or purpose built block could never. I will be sad to leave this place but am selling to buy a larger property with my partner in the hope we can start a family ."
