Shinerocks are one of the principal estate agents for The Woodcote Estate, we have a rich knowledge of the area and have sold many of the homes within the estate since our establishment. This stunning area is much sought after and renowned, due to its magnificent array of medium to large family homes situated along beautiful mature tree lined roads.
The Woodcote Estate is perfectly situated for Purley and Coulsdon town centres with their excellent amenities, as well as being within a short walk and journey to the excellent schools within the area.
The Woodcote Estate comprises a group of Purley’s premier roads, situated to the south of Smitham bottom lane and backing directly on to open fields and the Woodcote park golf club, founded in 1912.
The Woodcote Estate has six roads, five of these being no through roads so traffic in this area is practically non-existent. So, road names to remember are: Woodcote park avenue, Hillcroft avenue, Verulam avenue, Walburton road, Newton road and Elton road. This is one of the quietest and most sought after areas, with individual houses of distinction ranging in value between £1,000,000+ and £2,500,000. Originally the land was all owned by the Woodcote Grove Estate Limited, still in existence today and represented by managing agents locally, most of the properties are still affected by Woodcote Grove Estate covenants and so whether you are considering selling or buying, we are at your disposal should you require further information or advice.
The Woodcote Estate is located in Purley and its surrounding area is known for many excellent state and private schools, which include locally The John Fisher School, Woodcote High School and Cumnor House (all within walking distance), St Davids plus in the surrounding areas: Wilsons, Croydon High School, Old Palace, Whitgift School, Trinity, Wallington Boys and Girls and Caterham School. There are also many nurseries and colleges nearby.
Purley 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. If you need a pint of milk or the Sunday papers, the Lord Roberts is conveniently located within a short walk on the corner of Upper Woodcote village green. A short drive and you are within five minutes of Banstead, Coulsdon and Wallington high streets.
When it comes to exploring the great outdoors, 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.
The Woodcote Estate’s close proximity to London makes it an ideal location for commuters, with the A23, for those brave enough to drive, taking you straight to the capital, a journey I have personally made many times. Otherwise, by train, Purley station is a short drive away, 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.
