Summary - Crakell End, Hartley Down CR8 4EA
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Generous gardens, top schools nearby and scope to modernise.
Almost 1/3 acre level plot with large rear gardens and former tennis lawn
Set on almost a third of an acre in the leafy end of Purley, this detached four-bedroom home offers large rooms and a classic English façade that will appeal to families seeking space and character. The rear gardens include an upper lawn (formerly a tennis court) and about 100ft of nature garden that could be reclaimed, landscaped, or kept as wildlife habitat.
Internally the house is traditionally laid out with generous reception rooms, a sizeable master bedroom and useful under-house storage with side access. There is parking for multiple cars plus a detached garage; the garage or the current footprint could accommodate a modest extension subject to planning. The property is freehold and has no flood risk.
The house has been in the same ownership for 40 years and presents clear potential to modernise bathrooms, kitchen and general finishes to contemporary standards. Double glazing is fitted but install dates are unknown. Buyers should expect renovation work if they want a fully updated home, though the size and level plot give flexibility for extension or refurbishment projects.
Local amenities and excellent primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, making this a practical choice for commuter families wanting outdoor space, parking and proximity to good transport links. Council tax details and some service histories are not provided and should be checked before purchase.
