Spacious and bright, with sprawling accommodation enjoying
impressive leafy outlooks, this superbly located family home needs
to be seen to be fully appreciated. Offered to the market for the
first time in several decades, the property retains features of its
era of construction and has large and versatile accommodation. The
ground floor layout includes an impressive 16‘ entrance hall, four
reception rooms a large kitchen breakfast room, and a downstairs
cloakroom. Moving upstairs, you will find all four of the bedrooms
off of the galleried landing, bedroom benefitting from a dressing
room and en suite bathroom. With delightful gardens backing onto
Lloyds Park, a double garage, sweeping in and out driveway and
being offered chain free, a viewing comes highly recommended.
The Highly Desirable Location
The Whitgift Foundation Estate is one of the most prestigious areas
in which to reside in the borough. This property can be found on
Grimwade Avenue on the side of the road which backs onto Lloyds
Park, where much coveted homes rarely come onto the market.
Containing detached homes of a superior nature, it is not hard to
see why this area is held in such high regard.
Commuting & Transport Links
The peaceful leafy backdrop of Grimwade Avenue is in stark contrast
to amenities that are within very easy reach. Within around half a
mile you will find the main Addiscombe road that offers a range of
connections that includes bus routes to Bromley, Purley, Shirley
and many more destinations. Sandliands Tram Stop is also within 0.6
of a mile, providing links to Wimbledon, Beckenham, and rail
services at East Croydon; where you will find fast rail services to
London Bridge, London Victoria, Clapham Junction, Gatwick Airport
and lots more too. The M25 & M23 are approximately 10 miles
away.
Schools & Recreation
Numerous highly regarded schools are close by which include
Whitgift, Royal Russell, Trinity, Coloma and St Johns. Backing the
delightful Lloyds Park walks and play areas for children are
nearby, as is Shirley Hills, Foxes Wood and Coombe Wood Gardens.
Golf courses within easy reach include The Addington and Shirley
Park.
Future Potential
Whilst the property offers substantial accommodation as it stands
now, similar homes have had very large extensions to provide
exceptionally extensive multigenerational homes. There is ample
scope to the rear and a huge loft space that could be used for
adding additional living rooms and bedrooms. The double garage
could be used for a ‘granny annexe‘ style set up, and homes of this
calibre have had basement areas excavated providing leisure and
entertainment facilities. Of course, any improvements of this
nature would require the relevant local authority planning and
building regulation consents.
