Purley, Surrey

THE PROPERTY This charming four bed family home is situated just a short stroll from Purley station and has been thoughtfully renovated throughout by the current owners, blending modern finishes to include built in ceiling speakers and underfloor heating with original character features such as high ceilings, stained glass, and coving.

The property opens via a striking stained-glass front door into a generous entrance hall. To the front, a fantastic study offers the perfect work-from-home space, complete with a square bay window, feature fireplace, and an impressive built-in bookshelf with library ladder. To the rear, a cosy yet spacious lounge/dining room provides a wonderful setting for family life and entertaining, with another fireplace and bi-folding doors opening seamlessly onto the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with timeless cream shaker-style units, an Aga oven, and a ceramic sink. With ample space for a breakfast table and direct access to the garden, it is truly the heart of the home. A tucked-away W/C and a large understairs cupboard complete the ground floor. Upstairs, there are four generous bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a modern ensuite shower room, while the stylish family bathroom offers a luxurious walk-in shower and freestanding bath. A fully boarded loft provides excellent additional storage.

The rear garden extends to approximately 93ft, beginning with a paved patio and leading to a neat, level lawn. To the side, access is provided to the garage, which has been cleverly adapted: the rear portion is fully powered, ideal as a home gym or studio, while the front section retains good storage space with an electric door. To the front, the driveway provides off-street parking for two cars.
