Day-to-day living centres on a dual-aspect living room and a separate dining room with French doors to the private tiered garden, creating an easy indoor–outdoor flow. A modern kitchen and a study with built-in units add practical family spaces. Two upstairs bedrooms take advantage of the elevated position with pleasant views across the neighbourhood.

The house sits close to Coulsdon town and Purley amenities and local outstanding primary schools, with Coulsdon Town station approximately 0.3 miles away for convenient commuter links to London.
Practical points to note: the property dates from 1930–49 and has solid brick walls with no assumed cavity insulation, the EPC is rated D and council tax sits in Band F (expensive). Overall this is a spacious family home offering period character, recent bathroom upgrades and potential to improve energy efficiency further.
