THE PROPERTY The bright and spacious interior is neutral in decor and features well proportioned rooms and generous ceiling heights. The impressive hall with cloakroom off, is a superb first impression and sets the tone for the rest of the house. Two large reception rooms comprise a lounge to the front with a feature fireplace and double glazed square bay window. For ease of entertaining, there is an opening to the dining room and also a door from the hall as well as patio doors to a conservatory. The kitchen/breakfast room is rear facing and enjoys direct access to the patio and garden. Fitted with a modern style of cabinets and draws, it also benefits from built-in gas hob and a double oven.
Upstairs, the house was slightly re-configured by the current family who converted a bedroom to a family bathroom and the original bedroom to a study. However, we are advised that the plumbing remains in situ so an incoming family could reinstate the original layout thereby creating a very generous fourth bedroom. The ample principal bedroom also benefits from an e-suite shower room and also enjoys an outlook over the rear garden.
Outside, the rear garden extends to about 87ft and enjoys a south easterly aspect. It features two good sixed patio's, perfect for alfresco entertaining during the summer months and nearly level lawn which is bordered by fencing and hedging. The front comprises two driveways providing parking for three cars but these could be linked to create an in and out driveway. There is a single garage to the side.
LOCATION Education
Families are drawn to Sanderstead for its excellent schooling options. The area is home to well-regarded primary and secondary schools, including Atwood Primary Academy, Gresham Primary School and Ridgeway. At secondary level, the highly rated Riddlesdown Collegiate is less than two miles away.
Transport
The area benefits from excellent transport connections. Both Sanderstead and Purley Oaks rail stations (Zone 6) offer frequent, direct services into central London, including London Victoria and London Bridge, with journey times typically around 25 minutes - a real bonus for commuters. Local bus services also connect swiftly to the surrounding areas.
Leisure & Lifestyle
The area strikes a perfect balance between tranquillity and outdoor activity. Residents enjoy beautiful open spaces such as the expansive Sanderstead Recreation Ground - complete with sports pitches, children's play areas and a café - as well as Sanderstead Pond and woodland trails at Sanderstead Plantation.
