Set on one of Purley’s most sought-after roads, this 1960s detached family home offers generous living space and a large rear garden ripe for landscaping. The property benefits from a modern kitchen and double-glazed windows, plus a substantial garage and driveway for off-street parking. It sits within easy walking distance of Riddlesdown School, local stations and shops, making daily life straightforward for commuting families.
The house requires refurbishment throughout, so it will suit a buyer seeking to update and personalise rather than move in immediately. The EPC rating is D; improvements to heating and insulation could both boost comfort and reduce running costs. Built mainly in cavity brick with mains gas central heating, the solid structure provides a good base for renovation.
At about 1,466 sq ft over multiple storeys, the layout provides four bedrooms and two bathrooms with roughly six main rooms in total. The plot is large and private, offering scope to extend (subject to planning) or create substantial outdoor living space. Local schools include several Ofsted-rated Good and Outstanding options, adding to the appeal for families.
This property is marketed at £600,000 and will suit a family or purchaser prepared to invest in refurbishment to unlock the home’s full potential. The road and area are very affluent with very low local crime and excellent transport and broadband links, making it a practical long-term family purchase.
