Abbotts Road, Mitcham, CR4

*** Vendors comments *** "  We bought our property as it was a larger than normal three-bedroom end-of-terrace house with large back and front gardens and close to local schools and plenty of public transport (buses, trains, and trams), and lots of local shops.

We have lived here for over 40 years and are moving to be closer to our children and grandchildren.

Since moving in we have made the house our own by renovating everything, at the same time keeping it in a traditional style with a traditional log fire. We have maintained with love and recently purchased a new energy-efficient Worcester boiler maintained by a great value local company providing both service and maintenance.

During our time in our home, we have built a new garage, garden shed and large summerhouse, (great for extra space) and added a large front drive big enough for 3 cars.

One of the great things about this property is its location, close to several schools, many shops and great transport links as mentioned earlier. The greatest benefit is the wide spaces of Mitcham Common, a leisurely 15-minute stroll down the road.

We will miss our neighbours who have lived here either from childhood or moved in slightly after us. We will also miss our garden, with the lawn, fruit bushes, trees and ornamental shrubs. Also, the summerhouse provides a relaxing environment to stop and ponder the moment.

One final point is the sunshine, rising at the front of the house in the morning and setting over the back garden in the evening, great ambience and free energy."
