Summary - Old Lodge Lane, Purley, CR8 CR8 4DN
4 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Large garden, garage and flexible living—period home for families who want scope to modernise.
Four double bedrooms across two floors
Set on a tree-lined stretch of Old Lodge Lane, this 1930s semi-detached house delivers generous family space across roughly 1,549 sq ft. The layout includes four double bedrooms, three reception rooms and a large, level rear garden — ideal for children, pets and outdoor entertaining. Off-street parking and an attached garage add practical storage and convenience.
Ground-floor living is flexible: a bay-fronted front reception, a bright sitting room with double doors onto the garden, and a separate breakfast room that leads to the fitted kitchen. Upstairs are four well-proportioned double bedrooms served by a single, spacious family bathroom. The house is offered freehold and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, with Reedham station under a mile away for commuter links.
The property has been priced with modernisation in mind. Notable shortcomings include an EPC rated D and solid brick walls (no known cavity insulation), so buyers should expect heating and insulation upgrades to improve energy performance. There is only one bathroom for four bedrooms, and the council tax sits at a higher Band F. Overall the home suits growing families or buyers seeking period character with room to update and add value.
Nearby amenities and schools are strong: several Outstanding and Good primary and secondary options are within easy reach, plus local parks, sports clubs and everyday shops. With its position on a desirable residential road and a sizable plot, the house offers practical family living and clear scope for improvement.
