Tucked away behind secure gates and set well back from the road, this enchanting early 20th-century residence offers a rare blend of period charm and contemporary living. Thoughtfully maintained and sympathetically improved by its current owners, the property stands as a testament to both its rich history and the evolving needs of modern family life.
A Home Steeped in Character
From the moment you arrive, the home’s architectural details speak volumes. Original fireplaces, a beautifully carved oak mantle, and a striking Art Deco staircase are just a few of the features that set this property apart. These elements recall an era when craftsmanship, functionality, and artistic flair were woven seamlessly into everyday living spaces, creating an atmosphere that is both inviting and inspiring.
Flexible Family Living Spaces
The layout is perfectly suited for family life. The welcoming dining room, complete with an impressive 19th-century hand-carved fire surround and overmantel, is ideal for hosting memorable gatherings. The sitting room flows effortlessly into the original conservatory or garden room, offering a tranquil spot to enjoy morning coffee or an evening read. A cozy snug with its own fireplace provides a retreat for relaxation, while the open-plan rustic kitchen has a window to the front and door through to utility space and garden. There is also a downstairs WC.
Upstairs Sanctuary
Ascending the Art Deco staircase, you’ll find the character continues throughout the upper floor. The recently refurbished bathroom brings a touch of modern luxury, while three generously sized bedrooms provide peaceful sanctuaries for rest. A fourth bedroom, currently used as a dressing area, offers flexibility to suit your lifestyle—be it a home office, nursery, or guest room.
Expansive Outdoor Living
Set on a large plot, the gardens are a true extension of the home. The elevated patio enjoys sweeping views across the picturesque Happy Valley, making it the perfect setting for summer barbecues or quiet contemplation. Discover the “secret garden,” complete with a workshop, summer house, and hot tub—an ideal escape for both relaxation and creativity.
Versatile Coach House Annex
The former coach house has been cleverly converted into a self-contained annex, offering a wealth of possibilities. Whether as a successful Airbnb, a private retreat for an older child or relative, or even a dedicated workspace, this space adapts to your needs. The extra-wide plot also presents exciting potential for further development or extension, subject to planning permission.
Convenience is key, with Coulsdon town centre and Coulsdon South station just a short stroll away, providing regular 30-minute connections to London Bridge and Victoria. The home’s elevated position affords panoramic views and immediate access to scenic countryside walks in sought-after Happy Valley. For commuters, the M23 and M25 are easily accessible by car, while families will appreciate the proximity to several highly regarded schools.
This unique home offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy timeless character, modern comforts, and a lifestyle tailored to both relaxation and convenience—an ideal sanctuary for discerning buyers seeking something truly special.
