6 bedroom detached house for sale

THE PROPERTY Nestled within the exclusive confines of the esteemed Webb Estate, this impeccably presented residence sits upon a manicured south-facing plot of approximately two thirds of an acre.

Upon entry, you are greeted by a grand reception hall, which sets the tone of the elegance and grandeur to come. The eye is immediately drawn to the two impressive principal reception rooms with gorgeous herringbone engineered wood flooring flowing through from the hall. As adjoining rooms, this is a superb space for large gatherings but if desired, these could be separated if preferred. Both feature deep bay windows overlooking the stunning garden. There are two further reception rooms to include a playroom and a generous study. It is however, the breath taking open plan kitchen/dining/family room that is the true heart of this home. From the moment you step onto the gleaming tiled floor, you are enveloped into an atmosphere of elegance. Above, an impressive atrium bathes the space in natural light and a wall of bi-folding doors open out to the garden, making this the perfect space to entertain your family and friends. The kitchen benefits from underfloor heating and is fitted with beautifully crafted shaker style units offering plenty of cleverly thought out storage and a sleek island adorned with a gas hob which sits atop.

Ascending to the first floor, you are met with a beautifully bright landing, off which sit six generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom features a large balcony which overlooks the garden, a dressing room with built-in wardrobes and a refurbished ensuite bathroom, complete with bath, twin basins, W/C, and underfloor heating. There is a stunning contemporary family bathroom and also a further ensuite shower room. Stairs rise to the second floor where there is a useful loft room.

Outside, there are beautifully tended gardens to the front and rear, the latter enjoying a southerly aspect, laid mainly to lawn. The gardens are also well stocked with a variety of plants and shrubs and a large paved patio with pond and waterfall. A 31'1 Studio (formerly a garage) is to the side with ample light and mezzanine floor. There is a carriage driveway to the front providing ample parking and an integral single garage. 

LOCATION The Webb Estate was conceived and constructed by William Webb who acquired the land in 1888. When Croydon Municipal Tramways
reached Purley in 1901, the Estate was finally within commuting distance of London, bringing his vision a 'garden suburb for city men'
one step closer. The Estate is now a designated conservation area and has maintained its tranquillity and character for over a century.
Every road has its individual charm and character with Rose Walk deriving its name from the 6000 roses from 400 varieties originally
planted. Its red surface and grand gated entrances at either end add to the exclusivity of this premier road.
