Agent's Opinion:
This good-looking three bedroomed semi-detached Family Home occupies a level southerly plot amongst an ever-popular crescent of similar homes, right at the heart of Old Coulsdon Village.
The specific position in the Crescent gives a widening plot to the rear garden which also benefits from a southerly aspect for plenty of sunlight. In our opinion the property offers great scope for extension to the side and/or rear to create a substantial family living space! The house also has some attractive architectural features including a semi-circular arch to the entrance porch, an angled bay, and an oriel window to the front, all framed by a mix of brick-facing and painted rendered walls.
There is gas central heating and sealed unit double glazing and another key benefit is a driveway for off street parking, and an attached garage.

Garage: with "up 'n' over" door, power supply and light, pedestrian door to the rear.
Rear Garden: on a wider than usual plot with a southerly aspect and plenty of sunlight, the garden is of particular benefit to the house, enjoying plenty of seclusion offered by mature trees and shrubbery at the boundaries.
A shaped paved patio immediately adjoins the back of the house as well as a contrasting gravel bed area, providing plenty of space for outdoor entertaining and dining, being accessed from both the Kitchen and Dining Room.
The patio is followed by a grassed lawned area and a raised garden fishpond and also hosts a composting area. The Garage can be accessed from the gravel patio.
In the Agent's opinion because of the shape of the plot, the house offers great potential for extension to both the side and rear to enhance this family home.
