Shirley

Robert Vincent is delighted to offer to the market (for only the second time in 85 years) this fabulous double fronted, extended Gower B family home, with the added intrigue of an underground 'Anderson' air raid shelter, located in the ever-popular South Side of Shirley.

Tastefully refurbished over the years with the advantage of a two-storey side extension, boasting spacious living accommodation throughout with a splendid kitchen/breakfast room, three separate reception rooms and a large conservatory/sunroom. The third ground floor reception room has the potential to be a 4th bedroom or could equally serve as a snug or home office.

There are three spacious double bedrooms on the first floor, each benefitting from fitted wardrobes. The 3rd bedroom and large family bathroom, with a Victorian Roll Top bath and a double shower cubicle, form part of the side extension, great for a growing family.

There is an open tread wooden staircase to the loft room, which is currently used as a study. The loft area also provides significant boarded storage space, as well as offering potential for further conversion, subject to planning permission.

The 78'9" ft rear garden has mature shrub/flower borders and the rear garage has been converted into a gym room. Beyond the garage there is a constructed timber-framed outbuilding, ideal for your outside study/office if you work from home or a games room for children. To the front of the property, there is off-street parking for one car.

Situated towards the centre of the South Side of Shirley with a wide variety of amenities nearby, some of these include local shops and bus routes along the Wickham Road, both state and private sought after secondary schools and Shirley Hills. East Croydon station provides fast and frequent services into Central London and Eden Park station is only a short journey away with frequent services to London Bridge and London Charing Cross. West Wickham High Street is nearby with its selection of boutique shops, restaurants and cafes.

A truly amazing family home that has splendid accommodation and over the years the current owners have done a great job in keeping the character of the property with its cast iron feature fireplaces, which are the focal points of the living and dining room, ornate cornice and the list goes on. Don't miss out on a tremendous house with so much character!
