The Agent's Opinion:
Bidwells are delighted to have been favoured with our client's instructions on this most picturesque end-of-terrace Cottage right in the heart of Old Coulsdon Village. One of only a small number within the local area, this represents a rare opportunity to acquire a period home of great character and charm within a convenient village setting. Croydon Council's Senior Planner included the Cottage on the "Local List of Buildings of Architectural or Historical Interest" amongst a small number of others in the area. The Local List is not the same as statutory Listed Building status and doesn't carry the sometimes arbitrary restrictions on simple home improvements.
The Cottage requires comprehensive modernisation and therefore offers great potential to buyers who are seeking a restoration project which will culminate in a delightful home, hosting period features enhanced by the practical benefits of modern-day life! Built with mixed flint stone and brick construction, the property retains wooden cottage doors with Suffolk latches and some exposed timbers to the ceilings. The windows have been replaced with sealed unit double glazing in the "Georgian" design, fitting for the architectural style of its era.
Outside, the deep frontage sets the Cottage back from the road-side with well-stocked flowerbeds, hedgerows and rustic split-post-and-rail fencing and offers the potential for a driveway for off-street parking. And the long rear garden adjoins the boundary with Coulsdon Court Golf Course.
