Priced at £1,050,000, the house exudes an air of faded grandeur, with its derelict appearance and empty, timeworn interiors hinting at its untapped potential.
The property, located on Croydon Road, looks set to be a challenge for any prospective buyer.

Yet, beneath its ghostly exterior lies a substantial property, with the potential for significant transformation.
The property spans approximately 4,344 sq ft, including a basement and a detached garage to the rear.
This could see the property converted into a number of self-contained flats, or a single, grand family home.
The house’s location is another point in its favour.
It is situated on the north-west side of Croydon Road (A213), close to local shops along Penge High Street and Beckenham town centre.
Transport links are also strong, with Penge West, Kent House, and Birkbeck stations all nearby, providing Overground, Southern and Southeastern services.
For those with families, the house is within close proximity to several schools, including St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School, St John’s Church of England Primary School, Stewart Fleming Primary School, and Harris Primary Academy Kent House.
These are open viewing times, with no need to register.
If you cannot attend the viewing, Allsop LLP advises potential buyers to view the images and any available virtual tour on their website before bidding.
The haunted house-like property may not be for everyone, but for those with a vision and the determination to bring a grand old home back to life, it could be a golden opportunity.
