3 bedroom bungalow for sale

This attractive three/four bedroom semi-detached bungalow occupies a fantastic plot, set within the private and prestigious Webb Estate.

The Webb Estate, Purley, is a residential conservation area, about 12 miles South of London.

A fourth bedroom/dressing room and family bathroom with separate WC complete the accommodation.

The front private forecourt provides off street parking for several cars, and access to the tandem garage. The fabulous rear gardens are a delight, with patio and seating areas, large lawn, and a selection of mature trees, hedges, and shrubs. All complimented by two useful brick built storage buildings and a greenhouse.
