Silver Lane, Purley, CR8 - £1,500,000
Sprawling with space, this family home has 3 receptions, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a courtyard, masses of storage and a double garage. The spec is pretty ship-shape too with a superb interior and unfussy layout. Rooms fall either side of a wide, bright hall with original polished herringbone wood floor. The condition is outstanding, the décor is superb and you'll not want for space or seclusion in such idyllic settings.

It's a short walk to Purley trains and town centre (22 minutes to London bridge, 27 minutes to Victoria). Find state and private schools nearby (Woodcote, St David's, Wallington Girls, Wilson's, John Fisher and Whitgift) and a good butcher, grocer plus restaurants and bars.
