Period charm, large south-west garden and excellent school links — ideal family commuter base.
Detached double-fronted family home with period features
Set on a sought-after Sanderstead road, this double-fronted detached house blends period character with everyday comfort. The bright through lounge with a marble fireplace and French doors opens onto a level, south-west facing garden — a safe, sunny space for children and weekend entertaining. A generous separate dining room and a modern kitchen/breakfast room give flexible living options, while a utility room and ground-floor WC add practical convenience.
Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an ensuite, and a modern family bathroom with separate shower. Built-in cupboards across the bedrooms provide plenty of storage. The property sits on a large plot with driveway parking, an integral garage and mature front hedging; an EV charging point is already installed. Sanderstead and Purley Oaks stations are within roughly 20 minutes’ walk, and Ridgeway Primary and other well-regarded schools are close by — attractive for families and commuters.
The house retains original period features alongside modern fittings, but it is an average sized interior across 1,702 sq ft, so buyers seeking very large internal spaces should note the layout’s proportions. Council tax is described as quite expensive; running costs should be checked. Overall, this is a family-focused home in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, offering a rare combination of character, garden space and commuter convenience.
Viewings are recommended for families who value proximity to good schools and outdoor space, or buyers seeking a well-located period detached with immediate living comfort and potential to personalise further.
