Full Description: <p>The existing residence has been lovingly maintained and is arranged over 2.5 levels, offering flexible and characterful accommodation with scope for sympathetic enlargement or complete transformation, subject to the usual planning consents. Whether seeking an elegant downsize with extraordinary gardens, a substantial extension project, or an opportunity to create a landmark new home, Wavertree Cottage presents a truly compelling proposition. The accommodation comprises of an enclosed entrance porch, opening to an impressive reception hall with original open brick surround fireplace, which leads out to a conservatory, giving instant views of the delightful grounds as soon as you step into the house. The formal lounge is double aspect and there is a formal dining room, which potentially could be knocked into the fully fitted kitchen/breakfast room to create an open plan living area, so highly sought after in today’s homes. Rising to the first floor, there are three double bedrooms, with the master suite having delightful views of the front and rear aspects and a staircase leading to the converted loft area, providing a walk in wardrobe, dressing room and home office.</p><p>The grounds are undoubtedly a defining feature — wonderfully private, predominantly level and bathed in sunlight throughout the day thanks to their prized southerly aspect. Sweeping lawns, mature specimen planting and established boundaries create a tranquil setting rarely found so close to London. To the front, there is ample parking together with a substantial detached double garage.</p><p>The Webb Estate itself remains one of Purley’s most prestigious and architecturally significant addresses. Conceived and constructed by renowned developer William Webb, who acquired the land in 1888, the estate spans some 260 acres with each road carefully designed to possess its own individual identity and character. Silver Lane derives its name from the elegant Silver Birch trees which line the road, while gated entrances further enhance the privacy and exclusivity synonymous with this premier location.</p><p>Despite its peaceful, semi-rural atmosphere, the property is exceptionally well connected, with fast rail services from Purley station reaching both London Bridge and Victoria in approximately 15 minutes, making it ideally placed for both commuters and those seeking a refined lifestyle retreat within easy reach of the capital.</p>
