Set on a large plot in Purley, this 1930s semi-detached house combines period character with flexible family living across multiple floors. Spacious reception rooms, a full-width conservatory and a generous rear garden create comfortable entertaining and everyday space. The layout includes four main bedrooms, a loft room with eaves storage and a separate shower room, plus useful cellar storage and off-street parking for several cars.
The kitchen is arranged around a breakfast diner and a statement Range cooker, with a separate dining room adjoining the conservatory — practical for family meals and hosting. Period features such as bay windows, high ceilings and decorative stained glass remain prominent and add charm, while double glazing and a mains-gas boiler provide modern comfort (double-glazing install date unknown).
Buyers should note a few material points: the property was built c.1930–1949 with solid brick walls that are assumed uninsulated, so further insulation work may be needed. Crime levels in the immediate area are recorded as very high, and some parts of the house show potential for updating or improvement. Overall, this freehold home offers significant space and scope for a family seeking near-station convenience and a private garden, or for someone planning thoughtful modernisation to unlock additional value.
