Life’s Too Short For Decorating Or DIY! This substantial 3 bedroom semi is in a quiet close, near to a choice of great schools. It’s just been refurbished, with a stylish new kitchen, so you can move in and make yourselves at home.

If you're searching for an affordable, move-in ready family home, this spacious post-war semi could be ideal.

It’s just been redecorated throughout, with new carpets and laminate flooring.

The family home has just been given a modern makeover.

There really is nothing left for you to do - other than to put your feet up and add your personal touches.

The ground floor is dominated by a spacious lounge and the modern fitted kitchen.

The lounge stretches from front to back and gets lots of natural light, thanks to the large window at the front and French doors at the rear which open to the back garden.

The west facing back garden is designed to make the most of the leafy hillside location.

You can take in the lovely views of the nearby woodland as you sit on the raised seating area nearest the house, looking out over the lawn which leads down to a detached single garage.

There’s further outside storage space in a handy storage unit at the side of the house.

Upstairs has two double bedrooms, a single bedroom (which would be perfect as a home office or study) and the stylish family bathroom.

The property sits on a substantial 35m hillside plot, tucked away towards the end of a quiet cul-de-sac.

If you have a car there’s plenty of on street parking or the garage at the bottom of the garden can be accessed via a small back lane a little further down the street.

It’s a quiet spot with no through traffic, so it will be ideal if you have young kids who like to play out in the street.

But it’s also in a handy location, with two “Good” primary schools less than 10 minutes walk away.

Older kids have a little further to travel to Riddlesdown Collegiate (rated “Outstanding” by Ofsted) but it’s only a 12 minute drive or a 20 minute bike ride away.

Purley High Street is less than 10 minutes drive away. It has a great selection of local shops, pubs and restaurants and a Tesco Extra superstore on the edge of town.

It’s also a great location if you need to head further afield. It's less than 15 minutes drive from the M25 and only 25 minutes to Gatwick.

You have a choice of stations within walking distance. Reedham and Kenley stations are less than 20 minutes walk away. Both offer fast and frequent services to London Bridge or Victoria taking under 40 minutes.

If you’re really not into DIY and are much happier to know it’s all been done for you, this spacious and well built 3-bedroom semi could be your perfect easy move.

With no onward chain, if you’re moving from a rental property or are living with parents it could be a relatively simple and straightforward buy.

I’m expecting plenty of interest in this versatile blank canvas, so call to arrange a viewing.
