A premium opportunity to own a thoughtfully upgraded and reimagined family home that perfectly balances period elegance with contemporary comfort in a coveted location in Purley.

This fully renovated 1930s residence offers generous space, timeless charm, and refined modern finishes across three versatile floors. *** Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the scale, style, and flexibility this stunning residence offers.

Ground Floor

From the moment you step through the grand front doors into the large reception hall, this home impresses. The ground floor offers flexible use, with two reception rooms (one currently an exercise room), a bathroom, an office/music room, and a large office that could easily serve as a sixth bedroom.

Lower Ground Floor

The heart of the home lies on the lower ground floor. Here you will find a striking approximately 28ft open plan, south east facing, kitchen/diner that is filled with natural light. With underfloor heating, marble worktops, an island, fitted dining table, and bifold doors opening to a large entertaining patio, it’s ideal for both everyday living and hosting. A utility room houses a second dishwasher, sink, drinks fridge, and WC, while the adjacent family/snug room with electric heater adds a cosy retreat.

First Floor

Upstairs, you’ll find five bedrooms (four doubles), a stylish en suite and a luxurious bathroom complete with slipper bath and separate shower. The primary bedroom benefits from air conditioning. Both bathroom and en suite have underfloor heating.

Outside Space

The 81ft garden is neatly maintained with lush, low maintenance greenery and has borders with a variety of interesting foliage. It includes a large, hidden 4G astro turf area, perfect for sports, fitness, or adding a garden pod. Two secure side entrances lead from the driveway, which accommodates several vehicles.

The property has been renovated and extended, including professionally underpinned at the rear, providing structural integrity for the rear extension. There’s even further potential to extend into the large, boarded loft or to the side (subject to planning), though the current owners find the space more than generous.

Purley is full of open spaces, coffee shops, bars, cafés and restaurants to keep you entertained.

The property sits on a desirable and convenient route for travel into London. Reedham and Purley stations are a short walk away.

Here, frequent trains run day and night to and from London Bridge, London Victoria, and Thameslink destinations. Traveling to Gatwick Airport takes less than 25 minutes by car, plus you’re not far from the A23, M23, and M25. You’re also within striking distance of Farthing Downs and the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The property, which lies within the London Borough of Croydon, is near an excellent range of education options. Both state and private options include, Cumnor House Girls’ School and pre-school, Woodcote, St David’s, Cumnor House Boys’, Regina Coeli, Harris Academy, Riddlesdown Collegiate and Whitgift.
