First occupied 100 years ago in 1926, and with only 5 previous owners, a delightful home with huge potential – A Rare Opportunity on a Beautiful Coulsdon Avenue
Set proudly on one of Coulsdon’s most sought-after avenues, this impressive double-fronted 1926 semi-detached home, originally called Desmond House, occupies an elevated position, with its own driveway and a detached garage.
Behind its handsome frontage is a home that offers something increasingly rare – genuine original character, generous proportions and a wonderful sense of history. Much loved by the same family for the last 50 years, this is a property that feels like a step back in time, retaining some of the original 1920’s design alongside modernisations. The piano was sold with the house 50 years ago, and is now included if you so desire.
The accommodation is substantial and perfectly liveable, comprising four bedrooms, two reception rooms and a kitchen/breakfast room, with further scope to reconfigure and modernise to suit today's lifestyle. Whilst the property would benefit from updating, it offers the opportunity to undertake the transformation at your own pace, preserving the character and individuality that makes this home so special.
The property stands on a particularly generous plot, offering exciting potential for extension, subject of course to the usual planning and consent requirements. The elevated position also provides lovely views, adding to the sense of space and setting. A small shed, greenhouse and pond compliment the outside space.
This is not simply another 1920’s semi – it is an individual, established home on a prestigious avenue, surrounded by other distinctive properties. For those looking for a project with character, space, pedigree and potential, this is a great opportunity to become the sixth owner of this much-loved home.
Although these particulars are thought to be materially correct their accuracy cannot be guaranteed and they do not form part of any contract.
