Spacious 4-bed 1930s detached family home in Purley, just 0.8 miles from Purley Station. Large garden, garage, and driveway. Potential to update/extend (STPP). Close to parks, outstanding schools, and local amenities.

Nestled on Highfield Road in the sought-after area of Purley, this charming 1930s detached family home offers an incredible opportunity for those looking to put down roots in a tranquil yet well-connected location. Having been cherished by the current owners since 1998, this four-bedroom property boasts a warm, welcoming atmosphere and is perfect for a growing family. Now looking to relocate to Scotland, the owners have lovingly maintained the property over the years. While it is well-kept, certain areas would benefit from modernisation, offering any new buyer the chance to add their personal touch.

Upon arrival, you are greeted by a spacious driveway in front of the integrated single garage, providing ample parking. The front garden has been left in its natural state, showcasing an abundance of greenery and plant life, although there is potential to expand the driveway if desired, as other homes along the road have done.

Step inside and you are welcomed into a large, bright, and airy entrance hall. To the right is the first living room, an expansive space that runs the full length of the house. With its dual-aspect windows, this room enjoys views to both the front and rear gardens. The centrepiece of this room is the stunning Victorian fireplace, which adds a touch of timeless character. This is an ideal spot to relax as a family or entertain guests, with plenty of space to accommodate a variety of furniture arrangements.

On the left of the hallway is the second reception room, another inviting space that features a cosy log-burning fireplace. This room opens directly into a substantial conservatory, which is currently used as a dining room. The conservatory is bathed in natural light, offering stunning views of the back garden, and has direct access to the outdoors. The rear garden is a private, peaceful haven, backing onto school playing fields, and features mature shrubs, trees, a small pond, and side access. It's the perfect space for children to play, or for relaxing summer evenings, with the additional benefit of access to the garage.

The kitchen, located at the end of the hallway, offers plenty of storage with both over- and under-counter units, and comes equipped with a gas hob and electric oven. The oak worktops add a rustic charm, though the kitchen presents an excellent opportunity for modernisation, as the current owners had planned to refurbish before deciding to move. Adjacent to the kitchen is the pantry/utility room, complete with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and with direct access to the garden via a side door. Completing the ground floor is a convenient downstairs WC.

Upstairs, the large staircase and generous windows create a wonderfully bright landing, leading to four well-proportioned double bedrooms. Each room offers ample space for family members or guests, while the family bathroom, complete with a separate WC, ensures plenty of convenience. There is also access to the loft, offering great potential for future expansion (subject to planning permission) for those looking to increase living space further.

Flood Risk
Surface Water
Very Low
Unlike flooding from rivers, surface water flooding can happen many miles from a river, often in places that people wouldn’t expect because it’s a long way from a river or stream – it happens simply because there is nowhere else for the rainwater to go. Risk ratings are measured as:
High Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 30 (3.3%) in any one year.
Medium Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 100 (1.0%) in any one year.
Low Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year.
Very Low Risk - an area in which the risk is below 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year

Testimonial 1
Richard was brilliant with the whole experience - from negotiating the price right through to exchange. He kept me in the loop with where we were at all times and went out of his way to update me when other agents had finished for the day and at the weekends - would definitely recommend.
Testimonial 2
Dan and Katrina were absolutely excellent. As first time buyers, we were complete novices but Dan, from the offset, was helpful, efficient and supportive. Dan and Katrina were always quick to reply to our many emails and messages and offered sound advice. You often hear that estate agents will be on the side of the seller, but definitely not the case here. Dan was always fair and quick to try to assist us in anyway he could.
Testimonial 3
The agency UK is a remarkable company they are efficient, reliable and trustworthy. we acquired our first property through them they have been there for us from start to finish.
Testimonial 4
Tom Bailey was amazing to work with! He was always there to answer our questions and made everything so much easier. He really cared about helping us get over the line with our purchase. I couldn’t recommend Tom more if you need a friendly and reliable estate agent.
Testimonial 5
Tony Wood is in one word Brilliant as an estate agent. We needed to sell my Dad’s house which had not been lived in for 18 months. Tony had proactively posted a letter through the door describing his estate agent credentials. Having not bought or sold a house in over 20 years we had the old image of an estate agent. Tony dispelled all the cliches, he is a fantastic professional with a real understanding of buyers and sellers needs.
Testimonial 6
Amazing and efficient service, especially for first time buyers. Dawn Taylor has been amazing and helped us every step of the way, if there was anything confusing throughout the process, she was always there to help and acted as a great line of contact between us and the vendors. We 100% recommend Dawn to anyone who wants professional and efficient service! If it wasn't for her help we wouldn't have got our dream home! Thank you so much Dawn.

Council Tax pays for multiple services in the property's local authority with only part of it going to the council itself. Residences within a Parish or Town Council area have an additional charge to fund the body. Each parish/town council has a different budget and imposes different fees. Not all councils have parishes/town councils and this varies across the country.

In instances where parish/town councils do affect the council tax value and we do not have the exact figure, we present council tax data with the below highlights. Take care to confirm which is being presented by the dashboard as this will need to be made clear to your clients:

avg - When we indicate the Council Tax price is 'avg', it means we have not been able to obtain an exact figure, so this number represents the mean value of Council Tax across the council for that property band. The exact figure will be slightly higher or lower because each parish/town council is priced differently.

min - When we indicate the Council Tax is a 'min', it represents the known amount that the council sets for itself, but excludes the parish/town council cost which we have not been able to obtain. The additional cost will need to be considered as it will be greater than the indicated price.
