“A Rare Opportunity To Purchase” Is Such An Estate Agent's Cliché - Except When It’s True! This spacious and secluded family home is on one of Kenley’s most sought after streets.

This substantial detached property was built relatively recently in 1998. But it was designed to be sympathetic to the stylings of the older properties on this leafy road, some of which date back to the 1800’s.

It sits on a private and secluded plot, set back from the road with ample parking at the front and a multi-level landscaped garden at the rear.

The ground floor has a versatile layout with a large kitchen/diner and a choice of reception rooms. But it also offers plenty of potential if you did want to reconfigure the layout or even make alterations by converting the built-in double garage.

In addition to the warm and welcoming kitchen and spacious lounge, there’s an additional reception room which will be perfect if you’re a formal dinner party kind of family. If that’s not your thing it could be a separate TV room or games room for older kids.

If you work from home there’s a handy home office and also a downstairs w/c.

Upstairs has four double bedrooms (all with built-in wardrobes and one en-suite) and the family bathroom.

The ground floor layout does reflect the late 1980’s build, with a separate kitchen, lounge and dining room.

There’s certainly scope to open up the kitchen and lounge to make a much more sociable L-shaped space with the potential to spill out to the sun trap back garden. Better start pricing up the bi-fold doors...

The south facing back garden is a lovely, leafy spot to sit out and enjoy the sun. It’s quite private and secluded, thanks to the mature trees and borders.

There’s plenty for the whole family to enjoy across its many levels, with a patio seating area nearest the house, a manageable lawn and a summerhouse tucked away at the top of the garden.

When you’re sitting out in the garden, listening to the birdsong with a glass of something chilled, you wouldn’t imagine that you’re less than an hour from Central London.

It’s only a short walk down the hill to the station, with frequent trains that will get you to London Bridge or Victoria in around 40 minutes.

There’s plenty to enjoy closer to home, with a great choice of local shops, cafés and restaurants around 10 minutes drive away on Purley High Street.

For an even greater choice, Croydon town centre is only 20 minutes drive away (or around 15 minutes on the train).

As this is a family home it's good to know that the local Harris Primary Academy is both rated “Outstanding” by Ofsted and less than 10 minutes walk away.

Older kids have a little further to travel to reach Riddlesdown Collegiate but the journey to Purley will be worth it as this is another “Outstanding” school.

This substantial family home really does give you the best of both worlds. It’s traditional styling gives the property a feeling of timeless class but without all the niggles and maintenance issues you may get with a period property.

It’s ready for you to move in and make yourselves at home but at the same time offers plenty of potential if you did want to make alterations. That could just be a simple lick of paint or more substantial changes to the kitchen or bathrooms...or even a garage conversion (subject to building control approval, of course).

I’m expecting plenty of interest from discerning families keen to make the most of this rare chance to move onto Park Road.
