4 Bedroom Detached House, Tanglewood Close, Shirley

Peacefully tucked away in a much-coveted and highly regarded cul-de-sac in the Upper Shirley area, this impressive detached residence is generously proportioned throughout. These spacious rooms, combined with large double-glazed windows, provide bright and comprehensive living accommodation for large and growing families. Sensibly laid out with ample built-in storage, the ground floor includes a 20’9 double-aspect lounge, with a sociable open-plan aspect to the 11’ dining room, offering a great space for entertaining family and friends in large numbers.

There is also a study at the front providing working-from-home solutions, and a rather pleasant double-glazed conservatory overlooking the delightful rear garden. This property is not just about comfortable living and everyday family life; it works on a practical level too, with the presence of a utility room, ground-floor cloakroom, a double garage, and off-street parking. Upstairs you’ll find four good-sized bedrooms alongside the family bathroom, with bedroom one benefitting from an en-suite bathroom. The attractive, well-kept frontage provides a pleasant approach to the property and colourful outlooks to the front, and the property is well presented throughout, has solar panels, and very pleasant leafy outlooks. An internal viewing comes highly recommended.

Extension/Adaptation Potential
With much potential for adaptations and extensions, this home provides scope for personalisation and expansion to suit individual needs. Furthermore, the property offers the potential to create a granny annex set-up, making it a versatile and accommodating space for multigenerational living arrangements. Obviously, any improvement of this nature will require the relevant local authority consents. For those seeking a residence with both current comfort and future possibilities, this property is a must-view.

Location
Tanglewood Close is a highly regarded and attractive cul-de-sac containing similar detached residences. The peaceful feel and leafy backdrop of Tanglewood Close is in stark contrast to the conveniences offered close by; many local schools including Trinity, Coloma, Royal Russell and St. John’s, are within easy reach, as are bus routes to East Croydon Station and Bromley and Croydon town centres. In fact, according to TFL, London Victoria can be reached in 38 minutes and London Bridge in 39 minutes. Local shops can be found on the nearby Wickham Road.

Green Credentials
The property is equipped with 16 solar panels and a battery storage system providing up to 4kW of renewable energy generation. This allows excess electricity produced during daylight hours to be stored for later use. Octopus Energy have estimated the electricity and gas bills for 2026 will total £1,600, whilst in 2025 Scottish Power rebated the current owners £1,000 as power was given back to the grid. These are significant savings on energy costs, and truly enhance the property's environmental appeal.
