Frost Estate Agents are delighted to offer this superb Edwardian detached family house, built circa 1910. This unique home provides flexible accommodation and significant potential, the property is available to purchase with no onward chain so ideal for those looking for a speedy transaction. Found in one of Purley's most desirable tree lined residential roads, it is also conveniently placed for transport, schools and outdoor recreational facilities. Your early attention is highly recommended.

In need of some cosmetic updating the property features stunning panoramic views of the valley and surrounding area from the rear aspects, the changeable seasons making these views both interesting and beautiful, which is rare to see in most London suburbs.

The accommodation in brief consists of: enclosed porch area, entrance hallway with staircases to the first floor and basement levels, a useful WC, front reception / family room (previously used as an additional bedroom), rear reception room with side & rear aspect windows and feature fireplace, leading to a delightful sunroom with picture windows and door to rear aspect, there is a soundproofed office to front aspect, a spacious kitchen diner with separate useful utility room completing the ground floor (the original house bell box is still intact and working in the kitchen).

The first floor landing leads to four bedrooms all complemented by the family bathroom. There is loft access to a sizable boarded space with a recently fitted "Velux" style window. Other features include a recently retiled roof covering with replacement downpipes & gutters, and gas central heating with a modern boiler. The large basement is mostly open plan with a room great for storing wood. It has a Belfast sink and a multitude of electrical connections, this whole area represents a significant opportunity for a basement conversion (subject to necessary planning and building regulations).

The sizable rear garden is great for socialising. The fantastic raised decked seating area which benefits from lots of sun and stunning views is great for barbeques and can be accessed from the kitchen, sunroom and basement. There is a lawn area, a viewing patio, fruit trees and child's playhouse and swing. The front garden provides off street parking, there are two side access routes, and the grounds have a range of mature shrubs and plants giving excellent seclusion.
