Summary - 50 HIGHER DRIVE PURLEY CR8 2HF
5 bed 1 bath Detached
Large plot, elevated terrace and basement space ideal for growing families.
Five double bedrooms with strong period features and high ceilings
Set on a wide plot in one of Purley’s favoured streets, this five‑bedroom detached home offers generous family living across four floors and over 2,600 sq ft. High ceilings, original cast‑iron fireplaces and leaded‑light windows give strong period character, while a contemporary kitchen and updated bathroom provide immediate comfort. The elevated patio and rear garden deliver pleasant views and useful outdoor space for children and entertaining.
Accommodation is spacious and flexible: three reception rooms, a large basement with multiple rooms and a conservatory create scope for home working, play areas or entertainment. The basement already houses a utility room and boiler, but the lower ground space would benefit from finishing works to unlock its full potential (subject to any necessary consents). Driveway parking and a detached garage add practical convenience for families.
Buyers should note material and running-cost details up front. The house has solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation and secondary glazing; there may be scope and cost to improve thermal performance. There is only one main bathroom plus a separate WC, which may be limiting for a five‑bedroom household. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Overall, this property suits a family seeking a spacious period home with scope to personalise and improve energy efficiency and lower‑ground accommodation.
This is a rare opportunity for those who value size, period detail and outside space in Purley. A viewing is recommended to appreciate room proportions, elevated views and the potential to remodel or extend subject to planning.
