This four-bedroom, semi-detached home on Brancaster Lane offers flexible family living across two floors with a private garden, driveway and garage. Originally built in the early 20th century, the house combines period features — including a high-ceilinged front reception with decorative cornicing and a bay window — with sensible modern comforts such as a mains-gas boiler, radiators and double glazing (installed before 2002).
The ground floor layout is practical: a generous reception room, a well-equipped kitchen opening to a dining area, and a conservatory that leads directly into the rear garden. A ground-floor bedroom and shower room provide easy single-level accommodation for guests, older relatives or a home office. Upstairs are three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom, all benefiting from good natural light.
Practical strengths include a private driveway and garage for off-street parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for commuting or working from home, and very low local crime. Purley and Riddlesdown stations are within easy reach for direct services to Central London. Nearby schools — including Outstanding and Good rated primaries and secondaries — make the location well suited to families.
Points to note: the property is modest in overall internal size (about 1,128 sq ft) on a decent plot, and the solid brick walls are assumed to lack modern cavity insulation, so further thermal upgrading could be beneficial. The double glazing predates 2002 and some modernisation or replacement may be needed over time. Council tax is above average. Sold freehold, the house presents good scope to update rooms to personal taste while keeping attractive period character.
