Summary - 2 Coldharbour Lane CR8 2JH
6 bed 2 bath Detached
Large family-oriented home near Purley station with flexible living spaces.
Chain free six-bedroom detached on 0.29-acre plot with development potential
Set on a generous 0.29-acre plot in central Purley, this chain-free six-bedroom house offers substantial family living over three floors and considerable development potential. The property’s Tudor Revival character—exposed timbering, wood-panelled hallway and multiple reception rooms—gives immediate kerb appeal while the large garden and off-street parking suit multi-generational occupation or extension subject to consents.
Internally the layout is flexible: four reception rooms, a study, kitchen/breakfast room, converted garage utility and six bedrooms, including a loft-level bedroom with adjoining rooms. The principal bedroom has an en suite; there are two bathrooms and two additional WCs, so bathroom provision is limited for six bedrooms and may need upgrading for modern family use.
Important practical points: the house dates from the early 20th century with solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and secondary glazing in place. Heating is gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The EPC is currently E and council tax is described as quite expensive; these factors and the property’s age suggest planned energy and maintenance upgrades could be needed.
Location is a major selling point: a short walk to Purley mainline station and local schools, with easy road links to central London and the M25/M23. Crime statistics for the immediate area are very high, so prospective buyers should factor security measures. Broadband speeds are average despite excellent mobile signal. Overall this is a large, characterful house offering scope for modernisation and potential value uplift in a well-connected neighbourhood.
