Description

Nestled in the desirable Hartley area of Purley, this detached residence offers a promising blank canvas for those eager to craft a personalized family home. With no onward chain, this property stands out due to its need for comprehensive modernization, allowing future owners to implement their own design choices while capitalizing on an enviable plot in a sought-after location. Accessed via a private driveway and featuring an attached garage, the home's exterior showcases an appealing presence set against mature greenery. The interior layout is spacious and adaptable, presenting opportunities for reconfiguration to meet contemporary family needs. Upon entering, a welcoming hallway leads into a front-facing reception room with a traditional brick and tile fireplace. At the back of the house is another living area that benefits from garden views through a large picture window and features direct access to outdoor space via a side door. A further multifunctional reception or breakfast room connects seamlessly to the fitted kitchen, which also overlooks the garden and includes its own entrance for convenience. Completing the ground floor is a practical shower room with WC. The first floor accommodates four generously sized bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with bay windows and built-in storage. Two additional double bedrooms offer ample space suited for family dynamics alongside a more modest single bedroom. This level also holds potential for improvement with the existing family bathroom and separate WC. A standout feature of this property is its extensive rear garden—an inviting expanse offering privacy thanks to established greenery. This outdoor space is ripe for landscaping changes or could even accommodate extensions subject to necessary planning permissions. The front of the home provides off-street parking options along with garage access. Overall, this Hartley Down home presents an exceptional investment opportunity: it combines spacious proportions, generous grounds, and significant potential—all within one of Purley's most esteemed residential locations. The absence of onward chain further enhances its appeal for buyers keen on renovation projects aimed at creating their ideal living space.
