Webb Estate, Purley, Surrey

THE PROPERTY Approached via a sweep-in gravel carriage driveway and occupying an idyllic south-backing plot of approximately 1.5 acres, this substantial six-bedroom family home offers over 6600sq.ft of beautifully proportioned and highly versatile accommodation, together with a detached double garage and self-contained one-bedroom apartment all nestled withing the gates of the private and prestigious Webb Estate.

A lovely reception hall with herringbone flooring and wood burning stove are a wonderful introduction and a vaulted inner hall leading to the magnificent kitchen adds a unique twist. The kitchen, dining and family room is the heart of this home. Designed for both everyday family life and entertaining, the room enjoys views across the gardens and opens directly onto the terrace through two sets of bi-folding doors. The kitchen itself is fitted with contrasting cabinetry and a large central island, with underfloor heating adding further comfort.

There are two further reception rooms, together with an additional through room (the original kitchen). This provides considerable flexibility and could remain as a secondary kitchen or be repurposed as a further reception room, games room or other space according to the needs of the next owner. Practicality has been equally well considered, with a boot room, utility room and two cloakrooms which complete the ground-floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the principal suite is particularly impressive with a galleried entrance overlooking the inner hall. The bedroom enjoys views across the garden and a beautifully appointed bathroom creating a generous private suite. Two walk-in wardrobes spaces complete the suite. There are five further double bedrooms, one with its own en-suite shower room and two sharing a remodelled 'Jack & Jill' style bathroom. A separate family bathroom serves the remaining two bedrooms.

A substantial double garage provides excellent storage with a self-contained one-bedroom apartment above - ideal for guests, older children, an au pair/nanny or potentially a separate working space.

Outside, the gardens are a defining feature of the property. Extending to approximately 1.5 acres and backing south, they offer a remarkable degree of seclusion. Predominantly laid to level lawn, the grounds are framed by mature trees and attractive planted beds, with an extensive terrace providing a wonderful setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. A brick-built gazebo and garden room add further interest and usability to what is an exceptionally private and established setting.
