FULL DESCRIPTION
THE PROPERTY An outstanding family home with accommodation extending to in excess of 5500 square feet and occupying a delightful secluded plot in an exclusive road of just six properties situated in the heart of this prestigious private Estate.
An impressive vaulted hall with galleried landing above is a fine introduction to what is a superb family home that provides ample space to entertain friends and family whilst remaining restful and comfortable when not. There are five reception rooms to include a double aspect drawing room with handsome fireplace and doors opening to the garden, a dining room and a double aspect family room, also with access to the garden. The two remaining reception rooms include a double aspect study and a snooker room. The stunning kitchen/breakfast room which extends to over 29' is fitted with an elegant range of cherry wood cabinets and island complemented by extensive granite work tops and an array of integrated appliances. There are windows to both the front and the rear and double doors lead out to a large patio. There is a large utility room and further storage areas throughout the rest of the ground floor together with access to the double garage.
The first floor features a galleried landing with windows to the front. There are four double bedrooms, all of which benefit from built-in wardrobes and two feature smart en-suite bath/shower rooms. The master also enjoys a Juliette balcony, overlooking the garden and there is a spacious modern family bathroom. Stairs rise to a second floor games room although this could be used a another bedroom if desired and there is plenty of room to incorporate an en-suite. There is a further guest/nanny suite comprising a substantial bedroom and beautifully appointed bathroom.
Outside, the well tended gardens surround the property and in all, extend to approximately two thirds of an acre. There are mature trees and hedges providing a privacy and a gated driveway with parking for numerous vehicles. There is an integral double garage with remote up and over door.
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.
Every road has its individual charm and character and Birch Lane is situated directly in the centre of the Estate and it is the road that William Webb sought to build his own residence.
