Summary - 180 FOXLEY LANE PURLEY CR8 3NF
4 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Large ground-floor period flat with garden and parking in West Purley — lease requires attention.
1,358 sq ft of flexible ground-floor accommodation
A spacious 1,358 sq ft ground-floor apartment arranged within a period semi-detached building, offering flexible accommodation that can be laid out as four double bedrooms or three bedrooms plus a home office. Period details including wood-block/herringbone flooring, panelled walls and a feature fireplace give genuine character, while the bright kitchen/breakfast room and generous reception provide comfortable everyday living.
The property sits on a very large plot with a secluded, low-maintenance walled rear garden and off-street parking for up to three vehicles — rare convenience for West Purley. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent, and the address sits in a very affluent area with strong local schools nearby, appealing to families and professionals.
Important practical points: the property is being sold as a Share of Freehold with only 69 years remaining on the lease. This short lease is material — some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend and lease extension will be required, which adds cost and time. The building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation, so buyers should budget for potential insulation or energy-efficiency improvements.
Overall this is a characterful, versatile home in a quiet, leafy pocket of Purley that will suit buyers able to manage the lease position and the typical maintenance/upgrading needs of an older property. It offers immediate liveability with clear scope for investment through refurbishment and a lease-extension plan.
