Summary - 54 OAKWOOD AVENUE, PURLEY CR8 1AQ
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Large secluded garden and strong extension potential near Purley station.
Double-fronted four double bedrooms with three reception rooms
This double-fronted four-bedroom detached home sits on a large plot in a premier Purley road, within easy walking distance of Purley town centre and the railway station. The house offers a practical family layout with three reception rooms, a fitted kitchen and separate utility, plus a long tandem garage and generous off-street parking via a crazy-paved driveway.
The property benefits from far-reaching first-floor views over the valley toward Purley Downs and a large, gently sloping, secluded rear garden that offers clear scope for side, rear and loft extension, subject to planning permission. Good broadband, mains services and nearby highly rated schools make this attractive for families wanting space and convenience.
Buyers should note material points up front: the EPC is rated D and cavity walls have no recorded insulation, so energy upgrades may be needed. Council Tax is in band G and the house currently provides one family bathroom plus a separate WC. There are known covenants affecting the property and the garage was underpinned in 1997 — both facts to consider during due diligence.
Overall this is a substantial 1967–75 detached family home with strong expansion potential for those willing to invest in energy and cosmetic improvements. It will suit buyers seeking space, garden privacy and proximity to local amenities and transport links, and who are prepared to manage an upgrade and planning process to maximise value.
