Summary - 16 YEW TREE WALK PURLEY CR8 1HB
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious family home with garden and renovation potential.
No onward chain — freehold three-bedroom semi-detached
This three-bedroom semi-detached home on a quiet, sought-after Purley road offers spacious, well-proportioned rooms and a generous rear garden—ideal for growing families seeking space and good local schools. Set over two storeys and extending to around 1,045 sq ft, the property is sold freehold and with no onward chain, allowing a swift sale and straightforward move-in process.
The house retains 1930s period character—bay window, brick detailing and fireplaces—giving a solid basis for refurbishment. Practical features include off-street parking, a single garage, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing (installation date unknown), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The nearby transport links (several local stations) make commuting to central London realistic, while local schools and green spaces support family life.
Important to note: the home needs modernisation throughout and will suit a buyer prepared to renovate. The walls are original solid brick and likely lack cavity insulation, and the EPC is rated D. There is a medium flooding risk for the area, and the property has a single shower room plus a separate WC, which may not meet some buyers’ expectations for a three-bedroom home. Council tax is moderate.
Overall, this property is a practical, characterful family opportunity in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood. Buyers looking to add value through sympathetic updating will find real potential here, while those wanting a fully modern, move-in-ready home should factor in renovation costs and flood-risk mitigation.
