Old Lodge Lane, Purley, CR8

Occupying a corner position on this highly regarded residential road, this spacious four-bedroom detached family home offers a rare combination of generous, well-proportioned accommodation and an impressive outbuilding provision that will appeal to a wide range of discerning buyers.

The property is accessed via a private driveway with the benefit of a garage to the front. Step inside and the entrance hall sets a welcoming tone, giving way to accommodation that flows naturally across the ground floor.

The rear-aspect sitting room is an immediately inviting space, anchored by a feature fireplace and finished with sliding patio doors that open directly onto the rear garden. The separate dining room is equally characterful, with a handsome brick and tile fireplace providing a focal point and a bay window to the front. For those working from home, a dedicated study with a window to the front offers a quiet and practical retreat away from the main family living spaces.

The kitchen and breakfast room has been thoughtfully fitted with a range of units, incorporating a built-in oven and grill alongside ample space and plumbing provisions for a washing machine and dishwasher. There is also a breakfast bar and wine storage below and door onto the rear garden. There is also a downstairs shower room and WC a practical and much-valued addition for busy family life.

A staircase rises to the first floor landing, where four well-appointed double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from a bay window to the rear, enjoying pleasant garden outlook, while a second double bedroom features a bay window to the front and a full range of fitted wardrobes, an arrangement repeated in the third bedroom. The fourth double bedroom sits to the rear of the property. There is also a family bathroom.

Outside, the rear garden has been laid to a combination of patio and lawn. A particular highlight is the large workshop/garage to the rear, complete with an inspection pit, a superb and versatile facility that will be of especial interest to car enthusiasts or those requiring serious workshop or hobby space.

“My House My Home”

We have loved our family home for 26 years, with the previous owners living there just as long. With one child moved out, the other planning to move out and retirement approaching, it feels like the right moment to downsize. The area offers excellent local education, including state and grammar schools and nurseries. Great transport links with local bus routes and several train stations providing easy access to London and the coast with even faster connections via East Croydon. The neighborhood features plenty of green spaces, pubs, restaurants and countryside, with the M25 and M23 very close for wider travel.
