Property Description
Location
This Elizabethan style manor house is situated on the exclusive Webb Estate. The Webb Estate is a tranquil environment, and the layout offers householders privacy and seclusion. The Estate covers about 260 acres to the west of Purley town centre. William Webb, a local estate agent, purchased the site in 1888 and proceeded to
develop it according to his own theories of housing development.
Briar Hill winds it’s way through gentle hills between the South Border at one end and Silver Lane at the other, giving it a pleasant and distinctive character. Briar Hill was cut through in such a way as to preserve the fir and pine trees which already grew on the land when Webb bought it. He felt that if the area covered was divided into plots, the owners would cut them down in order to use the spaces for houses and gardens. These firs and pines can still be found in the front gardens of Arran Court.
Words can’t describe the wonders of Arran Court.
On arriving through the electric gated entrance you see the impressive panoramic vista. The plot is approaching 1.5 acres, which will leave you breathless with its lavished lawns, mature trees, bushes, plants and shrubs. A long block paved driveway leading down an avenue of scot pines, opens to a parking area and double garage.
On entering the property you will find an entrance hall before walking through to the stunning galleried hallway, with oak panelled stairs and feature fireplace, finished off with a stunning chandelier.
The property is spread over three floors which include a drawing room, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, breakfast room, study and utility room leading downstairs to the cellar.
There are five Bedrooms on the first floor. The master bedroom benefits from dual aspect views of the stunning grounds, a dressing room and en suite. Two additional bedrooms have en suite bathrooms. You will also find a family bathroom and separate cloakroom. Stairs then lead to the final room on the second floor.
The independent Cumnor House School for girls is set within four acres of grounds on the estate. The corresponding Cumnor House for Boys is located nearby, as are a good selection of highly regarded state schools. Further private schools within the area include the Whitgift School for Boys and Croydon High School for Girls.
Purley's town centre is a short walk which offers a wide selection of bars and restaurants including a Buenos Aires Steak House for an Argentinean feast, a social whirl at La Fuentes Tapas Bar or pop to Costa coffee. General shopping is catered for in abundance with Tesco 'Extra' superstore
and the myriad of independent boutiques like Laura Ashley. Croydon is only a short bus ride away, however Purley is ideally located for commuters as its just over 20 minutes to London Bridge or 26 minutes to London Victoria by
rail. You have the M25/M23 on your doorstep, giving superb access to the entire motorway network, whilst Gatwick airport is reachable in just 30 minutes.
