The open-plan kitchen and dining area, extended to create a bright, welcoming space, has been perfect for everyday moments as well as special celebrations. Large bifold doors open onto the patio and garden, ideal for summer entertaining or relaxing outdoors, and a handy laundry area sits just off the kitchen. Inside, the spacious front reception room features a charming stone fireplace, setting the scene for many family memories. Upstairs, there are three spacious bedrooms and a family bathroom, while downstairs offers a shower room and toilet, ideal for guests and busy mornings. As an end-of-terrace, the front of the house has potential to be converted into off-street parking, subject to permission, though we have preferred using the free on-street parking directly outside. There is also significant potential to expand into the loft, as neighbouring properties have done, offering room to add more living space or bedrooms. The location is ideal, with Purley Station a short walk away and fast trains to East Croydon, central London, Gatwick and Brighton. Drivers benefit from easy access to the M25 and M23. Purley High Street, Tesco Extra, cafés, pubs and restaurants are close by, with Riddlesdown Common providing nearby green space. We have appreciated the excellent local schools, with several primary schools within walking distance and good bus links to secondary schools, making this a practical and reassuring place to raise a family. This spacious, versatile home has something for everyone, from young commuters to growing families or those downsizing but still wanting room for children and grandchildren. We are now moving on and hope the next owners will enjoy living here as much as we have." ## Property Photos - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87282624/367622) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87282624/367625) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87282624/367628) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87282624/367629) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87282624/367636) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87282624/367637) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87282624/367639) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87282624/367640) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87282624/367642) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87282624/367644) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87282624/367646) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87282624/367649) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87282624/367662) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/87282624/367668) ## Floorplans - ![Floorplan 1](/listings/photos/87282624/367671) - Floorplan 1 ## EPC Graphs - ![EPC 1](/listings/photos/87282624/367674) - EPC 1 ## Sales History *Recorded sales for this property.
