5 bed detached house for sale

Stanhope Road, Croydon CR0

***Vendor Comments*** "We first fell in love with this home just over twenty years ago while both working in London. From the very beginning, it offered a setting that felt quietly exceptional. A gentle walk leads to East Croydon station, while a beautiful park rests close by and a welcoming primary school stands just across the road. The position felt effortless for daily life, while the generous proportions promised space to grow.

The house provided the perfect foundation for family life with a wonderfully wide garden that became a private retreat filled with laughter, summer gatherings and calm evenings beneath open skies. Soon after moving in, the property was fully rewired while one of the garages was thoughtfully transformed into a light-filled kitchen-dining space that became the true heart of the home.

As our family grew, the house evolved gracefully. Around ten years ago, a seamless extension introduced an additional bedroom, a further bathroom and a beautifully appointed family room that gazes across the garden. This space quickly became a favourite place for quiet mornings, warm conversations and relaxed weekends.

Over the years the layout adapted with ease. What was once the formal lounge became a refined study with dedicated work areas. A rear bedroom was reimagined into an elegant principal suite with a private shower room, while a charming Jack and Jill bathroom offered the boys their own shared space. Every corner has offered flexibility, comfort and calm.

Now that our children have begun their own journeys, we find ourselves ready for a smaller home. Leaving this house carries real emotion. It has given us years of memories, security and joy. This is a home that has grown with us, protected us and celebrated life with us.

We hope the next family will step inside and feel the same quiet magic that first welcomed us all those years ago."
