Set on a large plot in peaceful Purley-on-Thames, this detached four-bedroom family home offers comfortable living across two storeys with 1,583 sq ft of accommodation. The ground floor centres on a kitchen-diner and a living room with a fuel burner and French doors that open onto a raised terrace — ideal for family entertaining.

Upstairs, three double bedrooms and a master with ensuite sit alongside a single fourth bedroom and a spacious family bathroom. The property benefits from off-street driveway parking, a gravel driveway with garage access, double glazing (installation date unknown) and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators.

Location is a strong selling point: a short walk to the River Thames, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, very low local crime, and several 'Good' rated primary and secondary schools nearby. Note the property was built in the late 1960s–1970s and the area is recorded as having a high flooding risk — buyers should obtain flood checks and consider flood mitigation or insurance costs.
Overall this is a well-appointed family home in a comfortable suburban setting with good outdoor space and practical layout. It will suit families looking for river-side village living with scope for cosmetic updates or modest modernisation where desired.
