Waddon Road, Croydon, CR0

***Vendor's comments:*** "We bought this property because of the incredible space it offers, thanks to a rare rear extension—something that’s hard to find in London without spending significantly more. The rooms are larger than your average double size and even come with built-in wardrobes, making storage a breeze. Since moving in, we've slept soundly in the spacious double bedroom at the front of the house—it really feels like home.

Despite being on the main road, it’s surprisingly quiet inside, and the double-glazed windows ensure we sleep soundly every night. The road tends to be less busy than you’d expect, and we’ve also felt that being in such a visible spot adds an extra sense of safety.

One of the highlights of living here is the convenience. Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury’s are just a short walk away, making errands quick and easy. For families, it’s worth mentioning that Wilson’s School—the UK’s number one grammar school—is only a 9-minute bike ride away, and there are several outstanding primary schools in the area as well.

We’ve lived here for 4 years, and while we’re sad to leave, we’re moving closer to a football academy where our son will be training to fulfil his dream of going professional. If not for this exciting opportunity, we’d happily stay, as Waddon offers so much! This area has so much potential from the station and leisure centre being just a 10-minute walk away to the upcoming Croydon Westfield development and local regeneration plans.

We’ve also updated the home, including a refurbished bathroom and a kitchen that was renovated less than four years ago. The large dining room has been perfect for entertaining—last Christmas, we joined three tables horizontally and comfortably hosted 20 people for dinner!

For outdoor lovers, Wandle Park is only a 5-minute walk away, and our kids adore Wandle Ponds, just 3 minutes from our door, where we spend time feeding the ducks. We also regularly visit Waddon Leisure Centre (just 10 minutes on foot) for swimming and activities.

Transport links here are fantastic. With Waddon Station a 10-minute walk away, I can get to London Bridge for work in just 20 minutes. The tram stop, only 5 minutes away, takes us to East Croydon in less than 10 minutes, connecting us to many travel options.

Layouts and plans for a loft extension that could add two additional bedrooms and a bathroom are available, giving the home even more potential for customisation. We never got around to it because the existing space has always been more than enough for us, but it’s a wonderful option for the future.

This is more than just a house—it’s been a place of laughter, growth, and cherished memories. We’re sure the next owners will fall in love with it just as we did!"
