OUTSIDE SPACE
Purley Magna is, in essence, a small country estate with mature trees and shrubs, many of which date from the original landscape design. Undulating open lawns surround a good proportion of the property. The setting provides a matchless place through which to stroll, whilst the more energetic will doubtless appreciate their right to use the tennis court located within the grounds.
