Gladstone Road, Croydon, CR0

***Vendor's comments:*** "I bought this house 18 years ago because I could see the potential even though it needed a lot of work. I wanted an older house where I could put my stamp on it and I wouldn’t say I like new-build properties. It was the perfect starter home for us. Both bedrooms were good sizes and the bright colours made it the perfect girl’s bedroom.

The house is close to Davidson Primary School, where she flourished and met her best friend. The road is quiet and we felt very well surrounded by lovely neighbours. It has been our sanctuary.

I really appreciate the fact that the garden is easy to maintain and not overlooked. It's the perfect place to relax in the summer.

The transport is first-class; I can get to work in 30 minutes door to door and with so many destinations to choose from, we were out every weekend. There are many shops where I can stop on my way home to get dinner inspiration.

When my daughter became a teenager, we thought it was time to give her more room so we extended into the loft and made a third bedroom. This was her heaven, with friends staying over and hosting sleepover parties. It is well-insulated and a very quiet space.

When my daughter went off to university, my work location also changed so I rented it for a while until she was ready to move back home an eventually take it over. This was not to be and she is living her best life in Mexico so it’s time to put the house on the market.

To freshen the house, I have repainted it white and updated the floor downstairs as it was getting tired."
