5 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Offered to the market with vacant possession and ideally positioned in the heart of Purley, just moments from the town centre and mainline station, Frost Estate Agents are delighted to present this characterful five double bedroom semi-detached family home.

Full of period charm and original features, this substantial property has been lovingly maintained by the current owners but would now benefit from modernisation, offering an exciting opportunity for the next owner to update and reimagine the space to suit their own tastes and lifestyle.

Boasting approximately 1,951 square feet of versatile accommodation arranged over three generous floors, the home offers excellent proportions throughout, with scope to create a stunning, bespoke family residence in one of Purley’s most sought-after and convenient locations.

The accommodation comprises of: spacious entrance hall with access to storage cellar, front reception room, rear reception room with door to the generous mature garden, fitted kitchen/breakfast room and guest W/C. On the first floor there is a large master bedroom with fitted wardrobe, three further double bedrooms, family shower room and separate W/C, before heading to the second floor where there is a further fifth double bedroom and ample eave storage.

There is also a 4.35kW solar panel system installed on the house in January 2024, providing improved energy efficiency and reduced energy bills for the future owner.

The location is ultra-convenient, with Purley Station just a very short walk away where you can take your pick from Victoria or London Bridge as destinations – both around 25 minutes’ travel time. The Thameslink Route provides access to Farringdon and the City. Alternatively, Gatwick Airport is just 26 minutes in the other direction. Road links are excellent too, with the A23 a matter of minutes away, providing fast, easy access to London, the South Coast and the M25.

Purley and its surrounding area is known for many excellent state and private schools, which include locally the John Fisher School – a high-performing Catholic all boys state school, Laleham Lea Primary School – a co-educational prep-school, Oakwood School – a co-educational Catholic primary and Riddlesdown Collegiate. Following their outstanding OFSTED judgement in 2016, Riddlesdown Collegiate has furthered its success in being awarded the World Class Schools Quality Mark. Others include Wallington Girls, Whitgift, Wilsons and Christchurch, to name just a few.

If you’re feeling a little more active, there are a number of local health and leisure clubs to choose from. Excellent golf courses, recreation grounds and other open spaces are all close by, including the wide open spaces of Riddlesdown Common, Kenley Common and the recreational facilities of Kenley Airfield.
