Edward Road, Croydon, CR0

This extensively improved four-bedroom family house on Edward Road, Croydon, offers an impressive combination of period proportions, modern specification and flexible accommodation arranged across three floors. The main house provides approximately 1,183 sq ft (109.9 sq m), with a further 124 sq ft (11.5 sq m) detached garden office, bringing the overall footprint to approximately 1,398 sq ft (129.8 sq m) when limited-use areas are included.

The house has been comprehensively upgraded by the current owners, with improvements including a new central heating system, extensive insulation to the internal walls, floors and roof areas, a complete rewire and A-rated replacement windows. CAT 8 Ethernet cabling has also been installed throughout the principal rooms, giving the house a particularly strong specification for modern family life and home working.

The ground floor begins with an exceptionally long reception room measuring approximately 25'2 into the bay x 12'11 max. The bay window gives the room plenty of character at the front, while its proportions provide ample space to create distinct sitting and entertaining areas.

To the rear is the extended kitchen/dining area, measuring approximately 23'6 x 12'11 max. Fitted with a Magnet kitchen and Bosch appliances, this is very much the everyday hub of the house, with generous preparation, dining and entertaining space. Wide doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating a natural connection between the house and outside space.

The first floor provides two bedrooms, with bedroom two measuring approximately 12'10 x 11'1 and bedroom three approximately 11'7 x 7'3. They are served by the main family bathroom, which incorporates a three-way shower arrangement including a fixed waterfall-style outlet and handheld shower. Thoughtful additions include motion-activated lighting for night-time use alongside further lighting options, including app-controlled colour mood lighting.

The second floor adds considerable flexibility. The principal bedroom measures approximately 13'5 x 13'1 max and benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the additional bedroom measures approximately 9'4 x 7'9. Restricted-head-height areas are incorporated into the upper floor, as shown on the floor plan.

Technology and energy efficiency have clearly been given considerable thought throughout the house. In addition to the upgraded heating, insulation, rewiring and A-rated windows, CAT 8 Ethernet has been installed extensively, while fire doors and a range of app-controlled and sensor-operated lighting systems add to the specification.

Outside, the rear garden extends to approximately 25'3 x 14'6 and leads to a substantial detached garden office measuring approximately 11'11 x 10'5. Fully insulated and finished with commercial-grade flooring, it also has CAT 8 Ethernet and Virgin cabling, making it particularly well suited to anyone who regularly works from home. Equally, it could provide a studio, hobby room, gaming space or separate recreational area. The rear garden also benefits from an independent app-controlled lighting system.

Getting around. Edward Road is well placed for transport connections across Croydon and into central London. Selhurst station is nearby, while East Croydon and Norwood Junction provide further rail options within the wider area. Tram services from the Addiscombe and Blackhorse Lane area, together with regular local bus routes, give additional flexibility for journeys across Croydon and the surrounding districts.

On your doorstep. The house is conveniently positioned for everyday amenities, with local shops and services available throughout the surrounding neighbourhood. Addiscombe is also close at hand, while Croydon provides a much broader selection of shops, restaurants, cafés, leisure facilities and everyday services.

Schools. Families have a good selection of schooling within the surrounding area, including both primary and secondary options. John Wood School & Nursery and Robert Fitzroy Academy are among the local primary schools, with Ark Blake Academy providing a nearby secondary option. Buyers should check current admissions criteria and catchment areas directly with the relevant schools and local authority.

For buyers looking for a home where considerable thought and investment have already gone into its improvement, this property has a particularly compelling specification: four bedrooms across the upper floors, an extended kitchen/dining space, 25' reception room, two bathrooms, upgraded heating and insulation, complete rewiring, A-rated windows, extensive CAT 8 connectivity and a fully insulated detached garden office.
