Summary - 96 RIDDLESDOWN ROAD PURLEY CR8 1DD
7 bed 6 bath Detached
Spacious family residence with long garden and skyline views.
Over 4,400 sq ft across three principal floors and multiple reception rooms
Set on one of Purley’s most sought-after roads, this substantial seven-bedroom Edwardian detached house offers over 4,400 sq ft of flexible family living across three floors. The property combines period grandeur — high ceilings, large sash windows and generous room proportions — with a modern 1,300 sq ft open-plan kitchen / diner / family area that opens via bifold doors onto a terraced patio and a long, elevated 120 ft garden.
Practical family features include six bathrooms (three ensuites), a separate utility room, cellar and a garage with driveway parking. Several reception rooms and a tucked-away bar/lounge space create flexible zones for work, study and entertaining. From the upper floors there are panoramic views towards Purley Downs and the London skyline, and both Riddlesdown and Purley stations are within walking distance for straightforward commuting to central London.
The house has been tastefully updated in places and is chain free, ready for a buyer wanting generous space and character. Important factual points: the property is a solid-brick build from the 1930s and is assumed to have no cavity wall insulation, so upgrading insulation and energy efficiency may be needed. Council tax is described as quite expensive — factor ongoing costs into your budget.
This home suits a large or multigenerational family who value space, period character and outdoor living, and who are prepared to carry out energy-efficiency or comfort improvements to a solid-wall period house. A video tour is recommended to appreciate the scale and layout before visiting in person.
