**Guide price £700,000 - £740,000** Offered to the market chain free, this substantial semi-detached family home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property full of character, space and future potential in one of Purley's most convenient locations.
Set behind a generous driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles, the property offers exceptionally versatile accommodation arranged over three floors. The ground floor features two spacious reception rooms, ideal for both family living and entertaining, alongside a kitchen/dining room, utility room, downstairs cloakroom and integral garage.
The upper floors provide generous bedroom accommodation, including two principal bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, a family bathroom and a delightful balcony accessed from one of the double bedrooms, offering a pleasant outlook over the rear garden.
One of the standout features of this home is the impressive rear garden, complete with a mature apple tree and ample space for children to play, family gatherings or keen gardeners to enjoy. The property offers fantastic scope for enhancement, allowing a new owner to modernise and create their dream family home. Subject to the necessary planning consents, there is potential to extend to the rear or build above the existing garage and utility room, further increasing the already generous living accommodation.
For added peace of mind, the boiler and electrical installations have both been tested.
