Rydons Wood Close, Coulsdon, CR5

Located within a quiet cul-de-sac in Coulsdon, this beautifully presented and thoughtfully extended four-bedroom home offers generous living space, a high-quality finish throughout, and lovely outlooks including a wooded vista to the rear.

A tiled porch with a contemporary front door opens into a welcoming hallway. A coats cupboard provides practical storage, and there is access to the loft. The layout is both versatile and well-planned, with the main living areas flowing naturally while the bedrooms and bathrooms are set slightly apart, offering a quieter zone away from the main hub of the home. A spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and family area forms the heart of the home. With a skylight and a full-width feature window that takes full advantage of the view, this space is filled with natural light and opens directly onto the garden via bi-folding doors — ideal for both entertaining and everyday family life. The kitchen is fitted with modern shaker-style units, glazed display cabinets, marble worktops and splashbacks. A central island with fitted drawers and an electric point also features a seating area — perfect for informal family snacks or catching up over coffee. Additional features include a 7-ring range cooker with extractor hood, integrated Hotpoint dishwasher, pull-out bin, walk-in larder, and space for an upright fridge freezer. The adjoining utility room continues the same finish, with matching cabinetry, patterned tiled flooring, and space and plumbing for both washing machine and tumble dryer. There are four bedrooms in total, offering excellent flexibility. One is currently arranged as a reception space, making it ideal as a family room, playroom or home office if preferred. The other three are well-proportioned and bright, with two benefiting from double-aspect windows and one including a built-in cupboard. The luxury family bathroom features a roll-top bath, twin vanity sinks, underfloor heating, tiled flooring and half-tiled walls. A separate shower room includes a fully tiled shower cubicle, wash basin and WC.

Outside: Set on a corner plot, the property enjoys gardens that wrap around the home, enhancing the sense of space and privacy. It is approached via a brick herringbone driveway that leads to a detached garage, positioned to the side of the plot. The garage features an up-and-over door, power and lighting, making it ideal for secure parking, storage, or use as a workshop. A second driveway provides additional off-street parking, and a side gate offers convenient access to the rear garden. At the back, bi-folding doors open out onto a raised decked terrace — the perfect spot for a drink or to simply enjoy the view. Steps lead down to a lawned area, which can also be accessed via the side gate and driveway. Beyond the lawn, a pathway and further steps lead down again to a lower patio and an additional lawn, complete with a dedicated play area. With a wooded backdrop and various areas to relax or play, the garden offers a peaceful and private setting for family life and entertaining.

Situation: The property is located in a secluded cul-de-sac of bungalows situated towards the end of Caterham Drive, immediately adjoining the Green Belt of Rydons Wood, with Coulsdon Common just a stone’s throw away. This peaceful and leafy setting offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. Nearby, the village of Old Coulsdon provides excellent local amenities including a shopping parade, recreation ground, churches, and library. The area is well served by a selection of well-performing schools for all ages, making it a popular choice for families. Caterham Drive benefits from the regular and reliable 404 bus service connecting Coulsdon Town and Caterham, while both Coulsdon South and Coulsdon Town mainline stations are within easy reach, offering fast and frequent services to London Victoria and London Bridge. The property is also ideally placed for access to the M23/M25 interchange at Hooley, with Gatwick Airport just one junction away via the M23.
