4 bedroom house for sale

Tenure: Freehold

Sprawling with space, this family home has 3 receptions, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a courtyard, masses of storage and a double garage. The spec is pretty ship-shape too with a superb interior and unfussy layout. Rooms fall either side of a wide, bright hall with original polished herringbone wood floor. The condition is outstanding, the décor is superb and you'll not want for space or seclusion in such idyllic settings. <br>

Exclusive is an understatement. A 2002 survey revealed that the Webb Estate attracted the highest-earning residents in the UK. It stretches 260 acres, has become a conservation are and is sprinkled with highfaluting homes. William Webb bought the land 124 years ago and developed it as a utopian dreamscape for City boys. His ideal still works; the estate is prized for its beauty, the quality of its houses, its exclusivity and a terribly convenient commute. <br>

It's a short walk to Purley trains and town centre (22 minutes to London bridge, 27 minutes to Victoria). Find state and private schools nearby (Woodcote, St David's, Wallington Girls, Wilson's, John Fisher and Whitgift) and a good butcher, grocer plus restaurants and bars. Fairfield Halls and the Warehouse in Croydon offer local theatre, music and dancing while Croydon's scores of high street shops and Centrale shopping centre make a sound alternative to the West End.
