About this home

Some homes work perfectly for today. Some give you options for tomorrow too.

Caterham Drive is both of those homes. Sitting on a generous plot with a substantial rear garden, the property already offers approximately 1830 sq in total, including the garden room - but also had the potential to extend and reimagine the existing accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.

For anyone looking for a home they can put their own stamp on, that makes this particularly exciting.

The existing layout is already wonderfully flexible. The kitchen and dining room forms a sociable everyday hub, with dark cabinetry, warm timber worktops and doors leading straight outside. Alongside it, the separate living room provides somewhere to properly switch off, again enjoying direct access to the garden.

There are three ground-floor rooms shown as bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, while an additional office/bedroom five gives you even more choice. Work from home, create a guest room, playroom or something entirely different - the space can change as life does.

Upstairs you'll find two further bedrooms, storage and a bathroom, while a family bathroom and separate utility space complete the main accommodation downstairs.

The house is surrounded by a generous amount of outside space, with a broad paved terrace leading up to an established lawn framed by mature greenery. The existing footprint, sizeable garden and configuration of the home suggest plenty of potential to explore extending or remodelling the property, whether your vision is for a larger kitchen/family space, additional accommodation or a more substantial transformation - all, of course, subject to planning permission, building regulations and any other necessary consents.

A substantial detached garden room measuring sits towards the back of the garden. It creates a brilliantly useful additional space away from the main house.

At the front, a sizeable driveway provides off-road parking and leads to the garage, adding another layer of everyday practicality.

Caterham Drive puts you in a handy Coulsdon location, with Old Coulsdon a 14 minute walk away along with all the local amenities. Then Coulsdon town centre offering a further good mix of everyday shops, cafés and amenities, while the surrounding area provides plenty of green space for weekend walks and time outdoors. Coulsdon is particularly well placed for commuters, with Coulsdon Train Station 2.3 miles with rail connections into London and straightforward access to the wider road network. Families are also well catered for, with a choice of schools in and around the area. It’s a location that gives you that useful balance -London within reach, countryside close by and everyday essentials not far from home.

For buyers searching for SPACE, A GENEROUS PLOT and SCOPE TO EXTEND (STPP), Caterham Drive deserves to be seen.
