Northwood Avenue, Purley, CR8

It All Goes Downhill From Here. Tiered garden steps lead to your log cabin, your quiet corners, your space to relax. And everything indoors has already been sorted to a superb standard – this is the versatile family home that gives more with every step.

Set into the hillside, this spacious family home reveals itself in layers - and that’s the beauty of it. From the moment you walk through the front gate, there’s a real sense of space unfolding both inside and out.

Downstairs, the open plan lounge / dining room gives you two flexible zones - one for relaxing, one for eating - flowing beautifully onto the back garden.

There’s a feature fireplace, great natural light, and patio doors that frame that long green view down the hillside.

The separate kitchen is well equipped with plenty of cupboard space, a double oven, gas hob, and space for all the appliances you need.

From here, you can get to a smart ensuite bedroom - perfect for guests, older teens or even a live-in relative - and a separate office/ utility room with direct access to the garden.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a spacious single, plus a gorgeous family bathroom. Everything has been updated to a superb standard, so there’s no work required - it’s all ready to go.

Outside, the landscaped back garden is a bit of a show-stopper - just as long as you’re OK with steps.

Set across multiple tiers, it’s a true extension of the living space - with paved terraces, lawned sections, and leafy corners to pause and take in the view.

At the lower levels you’ll find two incredibly useful outbuildings: a heated log cabin with power and lighting (ideal for a studio, home office, or just somewhere to sneak off with a book) and a separate workshop with electrics - great for tools, bikes or weekend projects.

At street level, there’s an off-street parking area with other neighbours extending their driveway across the front, but on-street is currently working just fine.

You’re less than 15 minutes walk from Purley station, with fast trains to London Bridge or Victoria taking around half an hour.

Purley High Street has a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants, and you’ve got sought-after local schools like Cumnor House, Thomas More and John Fisher within easy reach.

So yes - it really does all go downhill from here. But when the steps lead to more space, more freedom, and your own secluded garden hideaway? That’s exactly what makes this move-in-ready family home so special.
