Peregrine Gardens is one of Shirley's most prestigious retirement developments. For the over 55's only, Peregrine Gardens is a very well kept and peaceful environment, the ideal place for a long and happy retirement. This two bedroom house has obviously been much loved and very well cared for over the years, and is well presented throughout. The ground floor features a fitted kitchen, a handy ground floor shower room and a spacious 15' lounge/diner which enjoys pleasant outlooks across the gardens. Moving upstairs, you will find the bathroom alongside the two double bedrooms, both benefitting from having wardrobes built in. The property has ample storage space, double glazing, a neat and tidy interior and is offered chain free.
The Peaceful Yet Convenient Location
Being tucked away at the bottom part of Peregrine Gardens provides a tranquil feel in stark contrast to the many local amenities that are within easy reach. Within a few hundred yards of the property is the main Wickham Road which offers a range of handy local shops and supermarkets, as well as cafes and restaurants. Shirley Library and the doctor's surgery on Hartland Way are both within very easy reach.
Transport Links
Several bus routes on the Wickham Road provide quick and easy links to East Croydon Mainline Station which provides fast links to London Bridge, London Victoria, Clapham Junction and Gatwick Airport and many others too. You can also find bus routes to West Wickham and Bromley town centres, as well as to Sandilands where you can pick up the Tram Link that runs between Beckenham and Wimbledon with many stops in between. The new Superloop bus routes stops on the Wickham Road too, this offers a direct service to Heathrow Airport and Bromley South.
