Summary - Brancaster Lane, Purley CR8 1HL
4 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Family-friendly plot with garage and easy train commute to central London.
Four bedrooms with downstairs bedroom and two bathrooms
Set on a quiet Purley road, this early 20th-century semi offers a generous, flexible layout suited to family life. Ground floor living includes a large reception, separate kitchen and conservatory that opens onto a tiered garden. A downstairs bedroom with its own bathroom provides practical options for guests or multigenerational arrangements, while three further bedrooms and a family bathroom are arranged upstairs.
Practical features include a private driveway, attached single garage and a decent plot that provides outdoor entertaining and gardening space. The property benefits from good local schools and fast transport links via Purley and Riddlesdown stations into central London, making it convenient for commuters and families.
The house is habitable but offers clear potential to add value through sympathetic updating. It retains period character—Tudor Revival exterior, original fireplace and decorative mouldings—but elements such as the kitchen and some bedroom finishes are dated and would benefit from modernisation. Buyers should note the property has solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) and double glazing fitted before 2002; further energy-efficiency improvements are likely to be needed.
Additional practical points: mains gas central heating is installed and there is very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Council tax is above average. A pre-purchase survey is recommended to confirm services, insulation and any refurbishment costs before committing.
