5 bed detached house for sale

Great Woodcote Drive, West Purley CR8

A Unique Five-Bedroom Detached Home on a Private Road in Purley, Seamlessly Blending Arts & Crafts Character with Contemporary Design, Offered Chain Free.

Tucked away on a quiet, private road, Hurstwood is a five-bedroom detached family home originally built in 1926 in the Arts and Crafts style. Thoughtfully renovated to preserve its heritage while introducing striking modern touches throughout, it is a testament to the enduring appeal of this architectural style.

At the heart of the home is a bespoke, handmade kitchen, crafted in Dublin and fitted with Neff appliances, an Elica gas hob, and a Quooker tap. A full wall of sliding glass doors opens directly onto a rear terrace, perfectly positioned to catch the afternoon and evening sun. The tiled flooring continues through to the original-style parquet in the lounge, where panelling pays tribute to the home’s 1920s roots.

The layout is highly versatile, featuring two double bedrooms on the ground floor alongside multiple reception rooms, a guest WC, and a separate utility area. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, including a spacious principal suite with a dressing area and en-suite bathroom. All the bedrooms on the first floor are south-west facing, bathing the space in natural light throughout the day.

Outside, the property features a large double garage (which can be accessed internally from the house) and a detached garden room, ideal for use as a home office, gym, or creative space. An air source heat pump and solar panels contribute to an impressive Energy Performance Rating, while the private south-west facing garden is the ideal setting for entertaining or simply unwinding. The property further benefits from off-street parking for multiple cars.
