Light-filled, split-level maisonette just a short walk from Purley station, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation. The first-floor reception room enjoys a large bay and high ceilings; a connected kitchen/diner and loft storage add practical everyday space. Two upper bedrooms (one with skylight) and a three-piece bathroom complete the layout, making this an economical choice for a first home or a buy-to-let near good transport links.
Practical benefits include a designated driveway parking space, gas central heating and double glazing already installed. The long lease (161 years) and below-average annual service charge help running costs; council tax is Band C and buildings insurance is listed separately. Local schools rated Good/Outstanding are within reach, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit remote working or streaming.
Be clear on the principal drawbacks: the property sits in an area with very high recorded crime and a medium flood risk, and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated which may affect heating costs despite the boiler. The glazing was fitted before 2002 and the EPC is band D, so further energy improvements could be beneficial. These are realistic considerations for buyers weighing renovation or investment potential.
Overall this maisonette represents accessible entry into Purley with commuting convenience and period character. It will suit buyers looking to add value via targeted upgrades, those wanting immediate occupation with minimal delay, or an investor seeking a central, well-connected lettable unit—provided they accept the local crime/flood context and potential energy-improvement costs.
