5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Uplands Road, Kenley CR8

Nestled within the leafy surrounds of Uplands Road, Kenley, this substantial family home offers charm, character, and exciting potential. Set behind mature trees on a private gated driveway, the property offers generous proportions across approximately 2,619 sq/ft and is brimming with period features, awaiting sympathetic modernisation to create a home tailored to your own style.

The accommodation flows naturally from a welcoming entrance hall, with doors leading to a choice of reception spaces. A bright and airy kitchen/breakfast room sits at the heart of the home, while two elegant reception rooms and a cosy snug provide versatile living options, perfect for family gatherings or quiet evenings in. Beyond, a utility room, greenhouse, and outbuilding extend the practicality of the home, with direct access to the expansive gardens to the front and rear, offering a wonderful backdrop for outdoor entertaining.

Upstairs, the home provides five well-proportioned bedrooms, including a spacious principal room with en-suite shower room, with the other bedrooms served by a family bathroom. The layout ensures flexibility for growing families, home working, or guest accommodation. Additional space is provided by a useful cellar area ideal for wine storage, there is ample off-street parking and the gardens are full of mature shrubs.

Situated in one of Kenley’s most desirable settings, the property enjoys a tranquil environment surrounded by protected trees, open spaces, and countryside walks. The much-loved Kenley Common offers 138 acres of chalk grassland and ancient woodland, while the North Downs provide stunning views just moments from your doorstep. Despite the rural feel, central London lies only 14 miles north, with excellent connections and amenities found in nearby Purley and Coulsdon, including independent shops, cafes, supermarkets, and well-regarded schools such as The Hayes Primary.

From Kenley Station you can take your pick from Victoria or London Bridge as destinations – all around 35 minutes’ travel time. Road links are excellent too, with the A23 a matter of minutes away, providing fast, easy access to London, the South Coast and the M25.
