Webb Estate, Purley, Surrey

THE PROPERTY This beautifully characterful six bedroom home offers spacious family accommodation arranged over three floors and occupies a south-backing plot spanning two-thirds of an acre, nestled within the exclusive confines of the prestigious Webb Estate. The property is offered to the market with no onward chain.

Upon stepping through the front door, you are greeted by a grand entrance hall, setting the tone for the spacious living spaces that follow.

A study sits at the back of the home, offering an ideal work-from-home space or the perfect playroom for children. The formal dining room seamlessly flows through to a bright and airy breakfast room, which benefits from direct access via French doors to the garden beyond. The farmhouse-style kitchen is fitted with timeless shaker-style cabinets with a central island, providing space for informal gatherings. A large utility room conveniently adjoins the kitchen.

The second floor features two further bedrooms, including a large double with fitted storage. A sizable storage cupboard completes this floor.

Outside, the garden is a true haven, offering two thirds of an acre of lush greenery, surrounded by mature trees and shrubbery-creating a private escape. A paved patio extends from the property, providing an excellent space for entertaining, with steps leading up to the well-manicured lawn. The attached double garage sits to the side of the property, while the sweeping driveway offers ample parking for multiple vehicles. 

THE LOCATION The Webb Estate was conceived and constructed by William Webb who acquired the land in 1888. When Croydon Municipal Tramways reached Purley in 1901, the Estate was finally within commuting distance of London, bringing his vision a 'garden suburb for city men' one step closer. The Estate is now a designated conservation area and has maintained its tranquillity and character for over a century.
