Silverleigh Road, Thornton Heath, CR7

***Vendor comments*** "Silverleigh Road has been a truly special home for our family, and we’ll always hold fond memories of our time here. We're only selling due to an international relocation — otherwise, we’d have happily stayed much longer.

The area has so much to offer. Our children attended Gonville Academy, which provided an academically strong and culturally diverse environment. We enjoyed having Mitcham Common and Lidl just a short walk away, and commuting to London Bridge was easy thanks to the nearby overground connections.

We recently renovated the property, adding a brand-new kitchen and bathroom, fresh white walls, and thick, soft carpets throughout. The tilt-and-turn double-glazed windows have been a real bonus — they’re easy to clean, energy efficient, and great for ventilation. We also ran utilities up to the loft in preparation for a future loft conversion, and had plans to build a conservatory and enclose the outside toilet to create even more space.

Our favourite feature, though, is the garden. It stretches 110 feet and has a lovely cool, fresh feel thanks to its sheltered north-facing position. We cleared away overgrowth and discovered hidden gems like camellias, rhododendrons, forsythia, winter jasmine, and apple trees — then planted over 180 different perennials and bedding plants to bring it to life.

We’ve truly loved living here and hope the next family enjoys the home as much as we have."
