House For Sale £800,000
PROPERTY DESRIPTION If you like living a life less ordinary, then this is the home for you! A real one-off, this a coach-house dating back to the early 1900's, is set well back from the road in a large plot of 0.23 acres.
Available with no onward chain, the property would now benefit from some modernisation and affords an entrance hall, a cloakroom/wc, a large 21' x 18' reception room with lovely wood flooring, a dining room, a modern fitted kitchen with Aga-style range cooker, landing, three double bedrooms, bathroom, separate w/c and benefits from gas heating.
The house is approached via a paved driveway providing parking for 2-3 cars. There is a garage and workshop attached to the left hand side of the house, a 12' wide side return to the right and a very large rear garden, measuring approximately 129' x 72'. The plot itself totals approximately 0.23 acres and provides obvious scope to extend the house at the the sides and rear subject to the usual consents.
For commuters, the mainline station at South Croydon is approximately a 10 minute walk away and there are regular bus services nearby towards Purley, East and West Croydon. The property is also centrally located for supermarkets, restaurants and entertainment.
The renowned Whitgift School is very close at hand, whilst Aerodrome Academy primary school, Regina Coeli Catholic primary, Cumnor House primary, and the Harris Academy secondary school are all under half a mile away. Krishna Avanti school and popular grammars -Wilsons, Wallington County Grammar and Wallington High School are just a 5-15 minute drive away.
There may be potential to completely redevelop the property, however prospective buyers should note there is a covenant dating back to 1900/1901 which states:
"A private house or private houses only is or are to be erected on the land hereby granted and no more than two such houses thereon. If a detached house is erected thereon the cost must not be less than One thousand two hundred pounds if attached houses not less than One thousand eight hundred pounds the pair. Nothing but boundary or division fences shall be erected on any part of the said land
until after a house of the value aforesaid shall have been completed. All offices and outbuildings erected upon the land are to be appurtenant to the house or houses built thereon and are to be at the side or behind the said house or houses. No pair of attached houses or offices appurtenant thereto shall be built within Six feet of any other house or offices. The value of a house is to be considered
the amount of its first cost in materials and labour of construction estimated at the fair current prices and to be exclusive of outbuildings offices and fences."
It appears this covenant may already have been broken by the erection of the block of flats to the right of the house, however interested parties should be careful to make their own investigations prior to incurring any costs or inconvenience.
