Description
Tucked away on a quiet residential street in Thornton Heath, this charming three-bedroom home—offered with full freehold upon completion—provides a great mix of space, style, and practicality.
DESCRIPTION
Arranged over three levels, the layout is designed for modern living, with bright, well-sized rooms and a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout.
The first floor features a spacious living and dining area, perfect for relaxing or entertaining guests. The kitchen sits just off the main living space, complete with a handy utility area and bathroom. One of the three bedrooms is also located on this level, making it ideal for guests or as a home office.
Upstairs, you’ll find two further bedrooms, both filled with natural light and offering flexible space for family, work, or hobbies.
Outside, a private garden provides a peaceful retreat, complete with a shed for extra storage. Whether you're enjoying a morning coffee or hosting a summer barbecue, this outdoor space is a real bonus.
Located on Elliott Road, the property is just a short walk from Thornton Heath Station, offering direct links into Central London. Selhurst and Norbury stations are also within easy reach, and there are excellent bus connections nearby. Local shops, schools, and green spaces add to the appeal, making this a fantastic choice for families, first-time buyers, or anyone looking for a well-connected home in a vibrant South London neighbourhood.

- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
