Bensham Lane, Croydon - For Sale £380,000




Charming Victorian Home with Modern Décor and Generous Garden
We are delighted to present this beautifully maintained Victorian end terrace home, offering an elegant blend of period character and modern living. Set on a desirable residential street, the property is bright, welcoming, and thoughtfully updated throughout.
You are welcomed into a light-filled entrance hallway, which leads into a versatile front room currently used as a home office or dining area. To the rear, the main reception space enjoys an abundance of natural light, with double glazed French doors opening directly onto the garden. These doors replace the original lounge window, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The home retains its original three-bedroom layout, now a rarity in the area. The third bedroom remains a useful single room, while both double bedrooms are generously sized. The second double bedroom has not been altered to accommodate an upstairs hallway, preserving its spacious feel, though there is potential for a future conversion should the new owner wish to add an upstairs bathroom.
The bathroom is smart and contemporary, offering a stylish finish. Outside, the private rear garden is a superb feature, extending to a generous length and enclosed by wood-panel fencing on both sides. A patio area provides the perfect spot for relaxing or entertaining, surrounded by a variety of mature planting including an Acer, olive tree, bay trees, rosemary bushes, camellia, and a striking Smoke Bush shrub.
To the rear of the garden is a solid brick-built shed, ideal for use as a workshop or with great potential to convert into a home office or studio. The property also benefits from secure side access.
A pull-down ladder provides access to the large attic, which is insulated, partly boarded, well-lit, and offers plenty of head height and excellent storage capacity. There is also strong potential for loft conversion, subject to the usual consents.
For peace of mind, the house features motion-activated security lighting at both the front and rear.
Conveniently located, the property benefits from excellent transport links, with West Croydon (0.8 miles) nearby, providing fast connections to central London. Families will appreciate the proximity to a range of well-regarded schools, including Elmwood Infant School just 280 yards away, along with Chestnut Park Primary School and Harris Invictus Academy Croydon, both rated highly by Ofsted.
Viewings are highly recommended to fully appreciate the charm, space, and potential of this superb home. EPC rating E, Council Tax Band C.
