Less Than An Hour From London, But It Feels A World Away. Sitting in your south-facing hillside garden, listening to the birds, you won’t believe London Bridge is only 45 mins away.

A spacious, recently updated family home in gorgeous grounds, set back from one of Kenley’s most sought-after streets.

The combination of real space, real quiet, real greenery - and a really manageable daily commute - is what most London families spend years looking for. The current owners found it here in 2022, and since then they've put serious thought into making this substantial semi work exactly as a family home should.

The Old Coach House sits back from the road, behind a sweep of gravel drive, with planting on all sides and a neat front lawn.

Inside, the ground floor is spacious and versatile. The main reception room runs to over 23ft, with parquet flooring and French doors to the front patio. There’s a separate dining room with a full-width bay window which floods the space with light and greenery, and there's a conservatory beyond that works properly year-round thanks to its solid roof.

The kitchen is the room that tells you this family has put real thought into how they live. It's a wide, bright space - with grey shaker units, stone worktops, a range cooker (of course!), herringbone floor tiles and a central island with a chunky oak worktop and bar stools.

A utility room and WC sit just off the kitchen, keeping the everyday clutter out of sight.

Upstairs, four bedrooms are arranged across the first floor. The main bedroom is a calm, spacious room with leafy views and its own ensuite shower room.

A second double looks out over the garden.

A third bedroom is currently set up as a home office and sitting room with French doors opening to a Juliet balcony looking out to the side.

The fourth is a bright, characterful room that younger children tend to immediately claim as their own.

Two further bathrooms serve the remaining bedrooms, and the thoughtful setup means even a family of four or five shouldn’t be queuing for the bathroom on a busy weekday morning.

As good as the house is internally, I’d suggest the garden is the feature that will live longest in your memory.

At ground level there's a sheltered paved courtyard right outside the kitchen, ideal for morning coffee or an evening drink. There’s a flat lawn on the level above, perfect for a place for the kids to play or socialise with friends. Then steps carry you up through established planting to a further section of garden, rising up the hillside - and from up there, the views across the Surrey countryside are the kind that make you very glad you looked at this one.

The off-road parking for several cars on the gravel drive round things off practically.

For families with children, The Hayes is only around the corner and Harris Primary Academy - rated “Outstanding” by Ofsted - is less than a ten minute walk away. Older children are well served by Riddlesdown Collegiate in Purley, another “Outstanding” school.

Purley High Street is around ten minutes by car for everyday shopping and good coffee, and Croydon town centre is about twenty minutes' drive or fifteen minutes on the train.

Family homes on the highly sought after Park Road will always get plenty of interest - homes like this one; genuinely spacious, full of character and within five minutes of a fast London commute - will get even more interest.

Get in touch to arrange a viewing - but don’t delay, this one will move quickly.
