Purley is a much sought after area within Greater London, situated within the London Borough of Croydon, on the edge of our beautiful British countryside, yet just a short train journey to central London, London Bridge & Victoria being 22/24 minutes away. The area is famous for substantial family houses with large gardens and a fantastic selection of schools, whatever type of education your child requires.
Purley is one of South London’s hidden gems, it once featured in the sitcom, Terry and June and some famous Monty Python sketches. Today Purley is a go to destination for city lawyers, doctors, surgeons, bankers and professionals from all walks of life, including the odd rock star.
Whether it’s a one or two bedroom flat for first time buyers, a three bedroom apartment or terraced house for couples looking to start a family or a larger family looking for that perfect forever home, Purley has something for everyone. At the top end of the Purley property market we have the famous Webb Estate, set in 260 acres within a private gated conservation area. Many homes are within walking distance of the railway station and town centre, offering all the usual amenities. All of this within 15 minutes drive of the M25 and M23 motorways offering great access to both Gatwick and Heathrow airports.
Purley and its surrounding area is known for many excellent state and private schools, which include locally The John Fisher School, St David’s, Woodcote High School, plus in the surrounding areas: Croydon High School, Cumner House, Old Palace, Whitgift School, Trinity, Wallington Boys and Girls, Wilsons and Caterham School. There are also many nurseries and colleges nearby.
The town centre features various recognisable high street retailers, cafes and restaurants, as well as independent stores and designer boutiques. In addition, there are plenty of recreational facilities nearby, such as Purley Swimming Pool, Purley Sports Club, Surrey Health and Racquets Club, cinemas, bowling alleys and two golf clubs: Purley Downs and Woodcote Park.
When it comes to exploring the great outdoors, Purley locals are spoiled for choice, with a range of open spaces on the doorstep, all perfect for family outings; options include Purley Beeches, Kenley Common, Farthing Downs and Oaks Park.
Its close proximity to London makes Purley ideal for commuters – the A23, for those brave enough to drive, heads right for the capital. Otherwise, by train you can reach London Bridge painlessly in half an hour or London Victoria in about 40 minutes. The M25 and M23 are less than six miles away, and there’s easy access to Gatwick and Heathrow airports.
