What do you think of this listing on Rightmove?

[Childfreesummer]

House in Croydon (greater London). I like the look of this house but the pictures feel so incomplete, it makes me wonder if they are hiding something?? What does the rest of the master bedroom look like? Where is the washing machine? What’s that small area off the garage? What is the store? Also, does the garden seem small for a 5 bed house? I’ve seen others in the area with much longer gardens but this one is wider so… 🤔

I know I could go and view it but I don’t want to waste my time!

I love it except for the kitchen. Something seems off to me about it, it's a great size but it doesn't have much countertop space (imho) and it seems out of character with the rest of the house. A more country kitchen would've fit better to me.

@teksquad I think the school you can’t remember the name of is Coombe Wood. There are other good state schools locally too: there’s Archbishop Tenison’s (mixed, CoE but not strictly so) which would be a short bus ride, Coloma, girls, catholic, but again, not exclusively catholic these days to name just two.

My aunt lives in Shirley which is very close to where this house is. It’s very leafy with loads of great amenities. Yes, central Croydon is pretty grim but so are many town centres these days.

It’s lovely but the kitchen would put me off. Pictures don’t seem odd to me.

I have one of those wooden settles by the fireplace. You want want to sit on it long. We have ours next to the shoe cupboard in the hall.

I won't be giving it a second look.
Their generalisations are so far off as to be positively misleading.

they claim one of the large council estate in Surrey has average income of £68k and low flood risk yet high deprivation.
That area is notorious for floods (including national headlines on occasion) and certainly is not low risk on the environment agency mapping.

I note they claim average income for another location is Surrey is £52k with high risk of flooding. In the 70 years i have lived there properties have never flooded and average income is a lot more than that as testified by average house price of >£800k. At least they got the social housing and deprivation stats correct.

I like it very much, except for the grey kitchen. I’m currently looking and I know you can love a house on Rightmove but the minute you walk in, you know it’s not for you.

It's one of the nicer parts of Croydon and I'd certainly look at it.

I can understand that people with these flags against their homes may not be happy with the data being shared. I'd advise them to challenge it if they think it is wrong. I don't want you to out yourself but it would be interesting to see an area with high flood risk that hasn't flooded in 70 years.
