All rooms are enhanced by a variety of charming period features such as fireplaces, ceiling mouldings and ornate cornices and panelled walls.

There are glazed double doors opening to an Amdega conservatory enjoying views of the garden.
From the hall, a turned staircase with oak balustrade rises up to an airy galleried landing leading to three principal bedroom suites and two further double bedrooms and family bathroom. There are a further two double bedrooms and shower room on the second floor.
Outside, the beautifully landscaped garden is wonderfully secluded by mature trees and enjoys a sunny southerly aspect laid to a well tendered lawn with established borders, pond with stream and waterfall and large paved patio. The side garden with pergola and wisteria leads to the front with large gated carriage driveway and double garage.
Location
The Webb Estate was conceived and constructed by William Webb who acquired the land in 1888. When Croydon Municipal Tramways extended to Purley 1901 the Estate was finally within commuting distance of London bringing his vision of 'a garden suburb for city men' one step closer.
Covering approximately 260 acres, the Estate is now a designated conservation area with every road having its individual character. Furthermore, many of the roads are gated only serving to enhance the privacy and exclusivity of this premier location.
There are numerous leisure facilities in the area including various golf clubs such as Woodcote Park, Purley Downs, The Oaks and Chipstead as well as Purley Sports Club offering cricket, tennis and squash facilities. The area is also extremely well served by an excellent choice of schools including Whitgift, Trinity, Cumnor House, Caterham, Croydon High and Old Palace.
Frequent rail services from Purley provide transport to London (Victoria from 24 minutes, London Bridge from 30 minutes) whilst the M23/M25 intersection is about 4 miles away giving access to the national motorway network and Gatwick and Heathrow International airports.
A wide range of shopping facilities can be found within reasonable driving distance with central London and Bluewater approximately 45 minutes by road. Central Croydon with its planned Westfield is just 4 miles distant.
