Description

Located in the sought-after Higher Drive area of Purley, this five-bedroom detached residence, constructed by Cala Homes in 2001, presents a generous living space of 2,077 square feet across three levels. While the home has been thoughtfully updated by its current owners to create a comfortable modern environment, there remains significant potential for further enhancement and personalization. Upon entry, you will find a well-designed kitchen characterized by an impressive vaulted ceiling that floods the room with natural light. This contemporary kitchen is ideal for both cooking and entertaining, thanks to the bifold doors that bridge the gap between indoor and outdoor spaces. Adjacent to this area is a snug for informal relaxation as well as a separate formal reception room. The first floor hosts four sizable bedrooms along with a family bathroom, while access leads to the luxurious master suite featuring an en suite bathroom—a perfect retreat for privacy and comfort. The outdoor space boasts a beautifully landscaped garden with an expansive L-shaped patio suitable for soaking up sun throughout the day. Additionally, the raised garden area enhances the outdoor appeal. The property's proximity to Higher Drive Recreation Ground adds convenience, while Purley Station's easy access makes it an optimal choice for commuters heading into London. Moreover, there is notable potential for future expansion of the property (subject to necessary planning approvals), making it an enticing investment opportunity for discerning buyers looking to capitalize on this already spacious family home.
