About this home

EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE FOR OVER 60'S

Apartment 15 at Carriages in Purley is a superb 2 bedroom apartment situated on the second floor. This stylish home is spread across approximately 875 sq ft of open-plan living space and features a modern specification throughout.

Winner of the Best New Development in the Retirement Living sector, Carriages is a welcoming collection of one and two bedroom apartments exclusively for the over 60's located in the heart of Purley.

The simple pleasures of home were a central point of reference in the community's design. The resulting apartments are light, spacious and welcoming, and some are equipped with private roof terraces or gardens.

Architects Woods Bagot have created a five-storey building with exposed brickwork and bronze features that reference the community's location just south of the old tracks of the Surrey Iron Railway; for many years its horse-drawn carriages transported goods from the North Downs to the Thames. The landscapers also found inspiration in this railway heritage, creating borders of coarse stone beds and wildflowers.

Surrounded by parkland and golf courses, Purley is a green and affluent district. With excellent transport links from East Croydon station, the M23 and A22, its easy to enjoy everything that London and the South East has to offer.

On Brighton Road, you'll find local conveniences such as a bank, Post Office, pharmacy and opticians, while there are many boutiques, restaurants and independent coffee shops across the town. Two golf clubs, a literary society and an active debating society are just some of the local communities to get involved in, while the town's tree-lined parks lend themselves to leisurely strolls in all seasons.
