A substantial detached period house offering generous family accommodation across multiple floors, set on a large, secluded South West-facing plot. The home retains high ceilings, bay windows and original character while providing scope to reconfigure rooms, extend (subject to planning) or simply modernise to taste. Its size and layout suit a growing family who want proximity to Purley town centre, station and well-regarded schools.
The plot includes two pillared entrances that could create an impressive in-and-out driveway, plus a double garage and gated side access. The mature rear garden is private and sunny, ideal for children, gardening or adding a terrace for outdoor entertaining. Walking distance to transport and local schools makes daily life straightforward.
Important practical points: the property requires updating and modernisation throughout, with an EPC rating of E and council tax band G, so running costs may be higher than newer homes. Construction is solid brick with assumed lack of wall insulation; windows have been replaced at some point but dates/certificates are not provided. There is one family shower room and two separate WCs across six bedrooms, so additional bathroom provision may be needed for larger families.
This house is best for buyers seeking a large period residence with significant potential rather than a turnkey move-in. A survey is recommended to confirm measurements and services before purchase.
