This mid-terrace three-bedroom townhouse in Hillview Close offers a practical family home in central Purley, vacant and chain-free. The well-presented interior features a bright through-lounge with large windows and wood flooring, a modern kitchen with garden access, and a contemporary family bathroom. At about 842 sqft across three storeys it balances living space with manageable maintenance for a busy household.
Outside there is a small, low-maintenance rear garden and a driveway providing off-street parking. The property sits in a quiet cul-de-sac close to Purley and Riddlesdown stations, with direct rail links to London Victoria and London Bridge, and is near several well-regarded schools—making it suitable for families and commuters. Neighbouring houses have extended, and there is scope to increase floor area subject to planning permission.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: the plot is small and the house has a single bathroom, which may limit flexibility for larger families. The area records very high crime levels, and council tax is above average—factors to weigh when considering living costs and security. Constructed in the late 1970s–early 1980s, the home appears well maintained but may offer further improvement or modernization opportunities for value-add buyers.
Overall, this is a ready-to-move-in property in a convenient Purley location that suits families or professionals wanting quick access to transport and schools, with realistic potential to extend or personalise over time.
