3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Downs Court Road, Purley CR8

Set on Downs Court Road in Purley, this wider-than-average semi-detached family home offers generous proportions, a well-balanced layout and a south-facing garden that genuinely sets it apart.

From the outside, it looks fairly traditional, but once inside, the space becomes clear. The ground floor provides two separate reception rooms, giving flexibility for family living and entertaining. The dining room flows naturally into the conservatory, which benefits from the elevated position and open outlook across the rear garden. The kitchen has been refurbished and offers ample worktop space, integrated appliances, and direct access to the rear garden. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs is where this house really stands out. Being wider than the typical semi on the road, all three bedrooms are genuine double rooms, not compromised third bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms enjoy views over the rear garden, reinforcing the sense of openness. The layout is also practical, with both a family bathroom and a separate shower room, ideal for busy households.

Externally, the rear garden extends to approximately 120ft in length and enjoys a southerly aspect. The elevated patio takes full advantage of the far-reaching views and afternoon sun. To the front, there is driveway parking and an attached garage.

The property has double glazing throughout and benefits from gas-fired central heating and a feature gas fireplace. This part of Purley/Riddlesdown is known for its friendly community feel and leafy surroundings. It is within easy reach of Purley Station, with fast trains into London, including direct links to London Bridge and Victoria. You’re also in the catchment for some of the area’s most popular schools, including Riddlesdown Collegiate, Woodcote, and the grammar schools in Wallington, which make this a strong long-term option for families.
