Set on a quiet residential road in Purley, this 1930s detached house offers spacious, versatile accommodation across two floors and a double garage with off-street parking. The layout includes two generous reception rooms, four bedrooms, a separate kitchen and utility, loft storage and a private rear garden — a straightforward family footprint close to excellent schools and Riddlesdown station (approximately 0.3 miles).
The property is chain free and sits on a decent plot with period bay windows and original proportions that should appeal to buyers who value character and space. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, the area is very affluent with low crime, and nearby amenities include shops, open green spaces and good transport links into Croydon and Purley.
Important: the house requires a programme of modernisation throughout. Fixtures and finishes are dated, carpets and some fittings need replacement, and there is only one bathroom plus a separate WC — all points to factor into any refurbishment plan. Council tax is described as expensive.
For families or buyers looking to add value, the home presents clear renovation potential: updating the kitchen and bathroom, refreshing flooring and decorating, and possibly reconfiguring spaces to suit modern living while retaining period features. Investors should note the one-bathroom layout and renovation costs when calculating returns.
