About 1,669 sq ft gross internal area, substantial family accommodation

Set on a wide block-paved driveway with space for several cars, this Webb-built Edwardian semi-detached house offers generous family accommodation across three floors. The ground floor provides two reception rooms, a double-aspect kitchen/diner with French doors to the south-facing garden, and practical ground-floor shower room and WC. Upstairs there are five bedrooms (one on the second floor), giving flexibility for family bedrooms, a home office or playroom.
The plot and layout are strong selling points: a large front driveway for multiple vehicles, mature screening for privacy, and a sunny rear lawn ideal for children or entertaining. The property totals about 1,669 sq ft and sits within comfortable walking distance of Purley town centre, the railway station and several well-regarded schools, making day-to-day life straightforward for commuting families.
The house retains period character such as a bay window and fireplaces but will benefit from updating. Practical considerations include secondary glazing, solid-brick walls without modern cavity insulation and an EPC rating of E, so energy-efficiency improvements would reduce running costs and increase comfort. Council Tax band G means annual charges will be higher than average.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful family home with scope to modernise and personalise. Buyers seeking generous living space, excellent local amenities and strong parking should consider this for immediate move-in with planned upgrades, or as a longer-term renovation project to add value.
