House For Sale £1,250,000
Located in a sought-after residential road in west purley, this fantastic property sits on a generous plot, with a beautiful south facing rear garden.
This detached property originally dates from the 1920's "Arts and Crafts" period and offers spacious accommodation totalling nearly 4,000 sq.ft. The house is arranged over three floors, offering a subtle blend of period features and contemporary living, and makes the most of the abundance of natural light.
The ground floor briefly comprises: Entrance hallway with panelled walls and original picture/plate rail, an impressive 40ft kitchen/dining/orangery with bi-fold doors to the rear which is perfect for in/out summer entertaining and modern family living, a double aspect reception room with a period fireplace, an adjacent study with extensive built-in shelving, a second reception/living room to the rear with bay windows affording a wonderful view of the garden, a practical utility room and pantry with butler's sink adjacent to the kitchen, and a downstairs cloakroom.
The first floor benefits from a wide, light and spacious landing, and has a fabulous principal bedroom suite with a dressing room and an en-suite bathroom. There are three further double bedrooms and a modern shower room on this level. The second floor provides another suite setup, in that it has a large double bedroom, bathroom and dressing/reception room. Ideal for an au pair or teenager perhaps.
Outside to the front is a driveway which provides ample off-street parking and has access to the large integral garage, screened by mature hedges. The delightful, secluded, sunny, south-facing rear garden extends approximately 105 feet in length with side access to both wings of the house. It is mainly laid in two large lawn areas skirted with well-stocked shrubs and flowering plants. There is large lavender border, a "David Austin" English rose border, mature trees with a large terrace/entertaining area and an attractive original 1920's painted wooden summer house.
Whilst currently configured as five bedrooms, the property is essentially seven bedrooms without the dressing rooms, and does offer further scope for extension to the rear or into the large loft area.
Purley and its surrounding area is an easy commute into the City and West End (Southern Rail) and has quick access to the M25/M23 and Gatwick airport. The town centre is a short walk away and has plenty of useful independent and high street shops, restaurants, cafes, pubs, gyms and supermarkets.

The area is renowned for many excellent state and private schools locally, which include the John Fisher School - a high performing Catholic all boys state school, Laleham Lea Primary School - a co-educational prep-school, Oakwood School - a co-educational Catholic primary and Riddlesdown Collegiate. Following their outstanding ofsted result in 2016, Riddlesdown Collegiate has furthered its success in being awarded the World Class Schools Quality Mark. Grammar and Independent schools include: Wallington Girls, Whitgift, Wilsons, Christchurch and Beaumont.
