3 bed detached house for sale

Trinity Close, South Croydon CR2

***Vendor Comments*** "This has been my much-loved home for the past 17 years. When we moved here, it was the perfect downsize from our large family house yet many young families have also moved into the neighbourhood, showing how beautifully this home suits all stages of life. We’ve cared for and maintained the property with love and attention and the large south-facing garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to make the most of its sunshine and space. The house sits on a generous plot at the entrance to Trinity Close, a peaceful cul-de-sac off Elmfield Way in Sanderstead, South Croydon. Bordered on one side and at the rear by gardens of nearby homes, the setting offers a lovely sense of privacy and seclusion. It’s a quiet, tucked-away spot where we’ve spent many happy hours surrounded by the wide variety of bird life and nature.

The house was extended by a previous owner and still offers excellent potential for further development. The loft could easily be converted into an additional bedroom or dormer, while the garage presents exciting possibilities, perhaps a home office, a self-contained annex or even a two-storey extension. With its generous proportions and substantial plot, this home provides real scope to create something truly special. From the front, there are lovely views across Croham Hurst Woods, a beautiful backdrop that changes with the seasons.

Just a five-minute walk around the corner leads to a friendly parade of local shops, including a butcher, post office, hair salon, pharmacy, wine shop, mini-market and even a vet – everything you could need is close to home. For larger supermarkets, both Waitrose in Sanderstead and Sainsbury’s in Selsdon are only a short drive away. For anyone who enjoys the outdoors, this location is ideal. Croham Hurst offers wonderful walking, jogging and dog-walking paths with panoramic views from the top. From there, the bridle path at Conduit Lane leads directly to Lloyd Park and Shirley Hills and there’s also a tennis and bowls club on Essenden Road, a gym at Capital Business Park and Croham Hurst Golf Club nearby.

Transport links are excellent. Sanderstead Station is within walking distance, providing fast access to London Victoria and London Bridge in as little as 15 minutes. Local bus routes connect easily to South Croydon, East Croydon and nearby schools, while routes from East Croydon offer direct connections to Gatwick Airport and the South Coast. Families are very well served here, with highly regarded state and private schools nearby. Ridgeway Primary School is particularly popular and close at hand. This home sits within a friendly, welcoming community where neighbours look out for one another. It’s quiet, safe and surrounded by greenery – a truly lovely place to live. We’re also delighted that the property now holds an EPC rating of C, reflecting its excellent energy efficiency. This means lower running costs, reduced energy bills and a smaller environmental footprint, all of which make this home even more appealing to modern buyers who value comfort and sustainability. An EPC C rating is exactly what many buyers are looking for today, offering peace of mind that the property is both well maintained and cost-effective to live in.

I’ve been enormously happy here and would love to pass it on to someone who will appreciate everything it has to offer. It’s full of warmth, potential and peace in a truly special location."
