***V endor comments*** “For the past 15 years, this house has been so much more than a place to live. It has been my sanctuary, my creative canvas, and the backdrop to some of the most meaningful moments of my life. As an architect, I approached this home with both passion and precision. Every improvement, every adjustment and every design choice has been made with intention. I wanted to create a space that wasn’t just visually appealing, but one that genuinely supported the rhythm of everyday family life. Over the years, I have shaped it into a home that is functional, welcoming and filled with warmth, a place where comfort and practicality blend effortlessly with style.

One of the features I have treasured most is the garden. It is a generous, beautifully balanced space that offers a sense of calm and privacy that is increasingly rare. The patio has been my favourite retreat during the warmer months, the perfect spot for quiet coffee mornings, peaceful reading or simply enjoying the sunshine. It has also been a wonderful setting for entertaining, with plenty of room for gatherings, laughter and long summer evenings. The garden stretches gracefully behind the property, creating a natural extension of the home and offering endless possibilities for the next family.

Inside, the house offers four generous bedrooms, including a spacious ensuite, giving families the flexibility and comfort they need. With three toilets, two bright reception rooms and a layout that flows naturally, the home has always felt open, airy and incredibly easy to live in. The two reception rooms have been invaluable, adaptable spaces that have served as living areas, workspaces and places for children to play and grow. Every room has been thoughtfully considered, ensuring it feels purposeful, inviting and connected.

One of the most unique and practical advantages of this property is the garage setup. The main side garage opens directly through to a second garage positioned at the back of the garden, creating a rare through-and-through arrangement. Having two garages with direct access from one to the other has been incredibly useful, offering exceptional storage, secure parking, workshop potential and space for hobbies or projects. It is a feature that adds real value and versatility and one that is increasingly hard to find.

Living in The Gallop, South Croydon, has been a privilege in itself. The community here is warm, respectful and supportive, neighbours who look out for one another while still valuing privacy. The Gallop is one of the charming cul-de-sacs just off the well-known Croham Valley Road, an area admired for its tranquillity, greenery and family-friendly atmosphere. It offers a lifestyle that balances convenience with peace, making it an ideal place to call home.

This property has been deeply loved and carefully looked after, and that care is reflected in every corner. As I prepare to begin a new chapter, one filled with sunshine, fresh breezes and new adventures, it feels like the right moment to pass this home on to another family. I hope they will feel the same joy, comfort and sense of belonging that I have been fortunate to experience here.”
