5 bed detached house for sale

Purley Oaks Road, South Croydon CR2

-Ground Floor-
Upon entering the porch and hardwood Carolina-style front door, one is greeted by a light, bright and chic interior colour palette, with light taupe walls and tasteful wooden flooring flowing effortlessly from room to room.

A generously proportioned dining room/lounge is defined by its box bay window to the front aspect, which serves as a welcome source of sunlight to this significant living space. The room is complete with an electric fireplace, hearth and mantlepiece.

A similarly expansive, double-aspect drawing room can be found across the hallway, with its generous proportions, splayed bay window to the front and glass-panelled double doors to the far end. An enviable living space is created with an open and bright aesthetic. The room is completed with a hallmark wood burner encased in a tasteful matte black enclosure.

An elegant shaker-style kitchen with light grey timber cabinetry and quartz worktops renders a welcome sense of contemporary design to what is arguably the defining aspect of a home. The kitchen installation occupies two walls and comes complete with a central island/breakfast bar, housing the Bosch™ dishwasher and a stainless steel 1810® bowl and a half sink.

Other appliances include a Neff® four-ring gas hob, canopy extractor, microwave and slide-and-hide oven. A Hotpoint® 50/50 fridge-freezer completes a comprehensive provision of everyday essentials.

The extensive kitchen area also provides further space for a small table and chairs and provides access to the rear garden through double French doors.

The ground floor is complete with a small vestibule and conservatory, access to which is obtained through the drawing room. This then leads on to a shower and utility room.

A brand-new, gas fired boiler has been installed within the utility area with the accompanying hot water cylinder and expansion tank thoughtfully positioned within the integrated garage, access to which is obtained through the utility room.

A tastefully tiled shower room complete with hand basin and toilet provides a welcome facility provision to the downstairs area.

- Mezzanine -

Above the integrated garage, a modest space provides an added dimension to an already multifaceted dwelling; offering approximately 165ft² in floor area and a shade over 6ft in ceiling height, this space could well be deployed as an office/study area or perhaps as a snug for a more concealed, cosy space.

- First Floor -

Rising to the first floor, a white timber balustrade occupies the centre of the carpeted landing.

The first of five bedrooms can be accessed immediately to your left. A dual-aspect bedroom with casement windows to the flank and rear provides a welcome inlet for twilight sunset from the former and a freshly turfed garden from the latter.

Following the first-floor landing in a clockwise direction, a thoughtfully redesigned family bathroom with a shower cubicle, vanity unit sink and French bateau bathtub services three of the four bedrooms on this floor.

A single bedroom with wide window aperture overlooking the rear garden offers a welcome sense of versatility to the first-floor space; potentially serving as a cot room or perhaps an additional office or study space to meet homeworking needs.

The master bedroom boasts a wonderful bay window to the front offering a superb vantage point across the road to the nearby allotments. An ensuite adds to the amenity of the bedroom with a shower cubicle; vanity sink and toilet.

A commodious, dual-aspect bedroom with splayed bay window and flank picture window completes this floor and offers a unique Westerly-view of the tree-lined Purley Oaks Road.

- Second Floor -

A masterfully conceptualised eaves space unquestionably augments the appeal of the house, providing ceiling space of close to seven-and-a-half feet at its apex, a double bedroom served by a Velux™ and dormer window.

The space also provides for a fourth bathroom in the form of a fully contained ensuite with a second dormer window.

The top floor area is completed with a neatly enclosed and generous storage space with a second Velux ™ window providing natural light to what could quite feasibly be repurposed as a walk-in-wardrobe.

- Outdoor Amenity -

A delightful rear garden measuring approximately 60ft in length and 52ft in width, bounded by 6ft timber fencing. A tranquil private space with a freshly laid lawn and a bounty of greenery in the form of hedges and trees.

The garden is staggered, matching the topography of the area and comes complete with a timber outbuilding with power to the rear and a quaint pond embedded within lowest terrace.
