5 bed detached house for sale

Glebe Hyrst, South Croydon CR2

Set on one of Sanderstead’s most sought-after roads, this substantial five-bedroom detached house offers over 2,300 sq ft of well-planned space, finished to a superb standard throughout. The layout works perfectly for family life, blending open-plan living with more formal areas, and includes a stunning kitchen/dining/living room that opens straight onto the garden. The wide entrance hall sets the tone, with clean lines, natural light and a striking staircase with glass balustrade. Off the hallway is a cloakroom, a dedicated study, and access to the garage/store. To the rear, the main living space stretches over 25 feet, with a large skylight and full-width bi-folding doors that create an effortless connection to the garden. The kitchen area features painted shaker-style cabinetry, quartz worktops, a central island with seating, and a full suite of integrated appliances. Adjacent is a separate utility room with its own side access. There’s also a second reception room, ideal as a more formal lounge or snug, with French doors, a wood-burning stove, and two windows bringing in natural light from three sides. Upstairs, the first floor offers four bedrooms, all generously sized. Bedroom two spans the full width of the house with dual windows, and there’s a fifth bedroom currently used as a nursery or dressing room. A contemporary family bathroom with separate shower and freestanding bath serves this level. The principal suite occupies the top floor and feels like a retreat. With far-reaching views, a large bedroom, walk-in wardrobe, and a smart en suite with walk-in shower and separate bath, this is a standout feature of the home.

Outside: Occupying a corner plot, the property is approached via a brick-paved driveway providing off-street parking and access to the garage/store. Well-established planting adds a sense of privacy from the road. To the rear, the garden is mainly laid to lawn with a full-width paved terrace, ideal for outdoor dining. There's a dedicated play area and a timber summerhouse tucked to one side.
