The property is a 0.18-hectare site located on Old Farleigh Road, on the periphery of the Selsdon conurbation in the London Borough of Croydon. The site currently features a dilapidated detached family dwelling with a gross internal area of approximately 132 square meters, set within a large surrounding plot. The property has been the subject of two failed planning applications, one for the demolition of the existing dwelling and the construction of six houses, and another for the construction of five houses. The site is covered by an Area Tree Preservation Order and is well-served by local bus services, with a bus stop located directly outside. The area is characterized by moderately dense suburban housing, with Croydon located approximately 3.7 miles north-west and Selsdon's retail facilities about 0.6 miles away.
