Frost Estate Agents are delighted to offer this sizable detached family home sitting on a sunny West facing plot with great views across the valley. The property is available to purchase with NO ONWARD CHAIN and does require complete updating and modernisation, but offers the fantastic opportunity to make your own mark on a home.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and in brief comprises; entrance hallway, double aspect reception room with central fireplace, second reception room to rear aspect, kitchen, study, outside lobby that leads to a store, gardener's loo and access to the garage. From the entrance hall the galleried staircase leads upstairs to the light and spacious landing with an original feature window, there are four very generous bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside to the front there is off street parking, and the sunny Westerly aspect garden is a blank canvas to create your own. Underneath the house, accessed from the garden, there is a great size cellar / basement area which could be further developed into additional accommodation (subject to the necessary regulations).

The property is conveniently served by two stations within walking distance. From Purley station (approx. 12 min walk) you can choose Victoria or London Bridge as direct destinations. The Thameslink Route provides access to Farringdon and the City – all around 30 minutes' travel time. Trains from central London to Purley also run throughout the night for ultra-convenience. Alternatively, Gatwick airport is just 26 minutes in the opposite direction. Riddlesdown station is a 10 minute walk away, with trains also running to London Bridge and Victoria. Road links are excellent too, with the A23 a matter of minutes away, providing fast, easy access to London by car, the South Coast and the M25. There are excellent schools within the area for all ages, including the highly regarded Riddlesdown Collegiate which is currently rated outstanding by Ofsted and counts this property within its catchment area.
