4 bed detached house for sale

Birkdale Gardens, Croydon CR0

Nestled behind secure remote-access gates, this substantial four-bedroom home provides privacy and tranquillity in equal measure. While the property would benefit from updating and light modernisation, it offers an exceptional canvas for creating a tailored family haven.

To the rear, a spacious and secluded garden invites al fresco entertaining and summer gatherings, with ample room for children to play or guests to relax. The current layout comprises a well-proportioned principal bedroom with en-suite, a dedicated utility room, and a double garage.

Nestled at the foot of Sandpits Road, Birkdale Gardens presents a peaceful cul-de-sac setting accessed via secure gates, offering both privacy and reassurance within this highly regarded neighbourhood.

Surrounded by verdant scenery and rich local heritage, this leafy pocket of Upper Shirley enjoys proximity to a wealth of amenities and well-regarded independent schools, including Whitgift, Coloma, Trinity, Royal Russell, and St John’s.

Residents can enjoy leisurely strolls through Shirley Hills and Lloyd Park, with two popular public houses/restaurants nearby, perfect for a relaxed meal or a quiet drink. For daily essentials, a convenient local food and wine shop is just a short walk away.

Commuters are well-served by excellent transport links: Local bus routes connect to Bromley and Croydon town centres, whilst Coombe Lane Tram Stop lies under a mile away, offering direct access to East Croydon mainline station. From there, fast and frequent services run to London Bridge, Victoria, Clapham Junction, Gatwick Airport and further afield.
Access to major road networks including the M23 (approximately 10 miles) and M25 (approximately 12 miles) further enhances the appeal of this well-connected yet wonderfully serene location.
