Move In Ready But With One Wall Too Many? One simple layout change could make this great family home even better. It’s already got three bedrooms, a lovely 27m (90ft) back garden, two stations within walking distance and “Outstanding” schools nearby.

Many families spend months struggling to find a home that works right now and still has room to grow. This Riddlesdown semi does both - and the gap between what it is today and what it could be with one wall removed is smaller than you'd think.

The house itself is a classic bay-fronted semi in the kind of condition that makes moving in easy. The décor is stylish, clean and neutral throughout, and everything feels looked after. You can move in on a Friday and have friends round by Sunday.

The front room is a good size - a proper sitting room with a bay window that brings in plenty of light. But it's the back of the house where things get interesting. The dining room looks out over the 27m (90ft) back garden through a large rear-facing bay window, and you quickly start to wonder what it would feel like if the kitchen wall came down.

The kitchen itself is modern but compact - with white shaker units, wooden worktops and a rear door out to the garden - but the potential to open the whole back of the house into one larger, more sociable kitchen-dining space is clear. Worth thinking about...and worth pondering the possibility of an extension too...

That garden is genuinely one of the best things about this house. At 27 metres it runs a long way back, with a timber shed, raised beds and views over rooftops and greenery that you'll see from the kitchen, the dining room and the back bedroom upstairs.

There's a block-paved drive at the front and a single garage - useful for bikes, storage, or that extra chest freezer you've been meaning to get.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms. The two doubles are both a similar size, the one at the front is slightly bigger but the one at the back has the garden views and stylish sliding wardrobes. The third is smaller - a single that’s currently used as a home office - but also works well as a child's room or nursery. With Ethernet cabling installed upstairs, it's the perfect work-from-home space.

The bathroom has been updated with marble-effect tiling throughout and a shower over the bath.

Ingleboro Drive puts you within walking distance of both Riddlesdown and Purley stations – giving you fast links to London Bridge and Victoria in around 30 minutes.

The highly sought after Riddlesdown Collegiate is only a 15-minute walk away and is rated “Outstanding” by Ofsted, and Harris Primary Academy is also nearby.

You’re a short drive from the cafés and shops of Purley High Street, or 15 - 20 minutes from the wider choice in Croydon town centre. If you are looking for places to walk the dog or take the kids to the park, you have Riddlesdown Common on your doorstep, which offers acres of green space to walk and play.

This is the kind of home that's rare at this price. It’s move-in ready, with a garden that will surprise you, schools that most families in CR8 are actively trying to get into, and a layout that works well now and could work even better with one simple change.
