The vendor comments that their family moved to the house in 1951 and very little has changed since then, despite the potential for modernization. The property is located in a sheltered green area fronting the main road, with Mitcham Common and a golf course nearby. The vendor notes that some of their childhood neighbors still live in the area and appreciates the convenience of the nearby railway station and trams. They hope the next owner will appreciate the property's location, surrounded by greenery yet close to London.
