Hard To Spot Hidden Gem Located On One Of Kenley’s Most Sought After Streets. This surprisingly spacious Kentish board cladded home offers an unexpected blend of old and new in a secluded, leafy setting. It’s perfect if you’re looking for a quiet life.

A lot has changed on Park Road since this sprawling home was first built in the late 1800’s. It’s recently been surrounded by the modern family homes that have turned Park Road into one of the go-to CR8 addresses for discerning families.

It’s tucked away on its own secluded and leafy plot that’s utterly missable unless you know it’s there.

And that’s all part of its hidden charm.

When you close the electric gates behind you, there’s no way of telling that you’re only a 5 minute walk from Kenley station.

Unless you spot the solar panels on the roof you may even wonder what century you’re in.

The ground floor is dominated by the kitchen/diner and the spacious lounge. Both rooms are a generous size and tastefully combine period features with the latest design.

The modern kitchen/diner, leading to the conservatory, is particularly well suited to our busy modern lives. There's plenty of space for everyone to get together in the morning or to catch up at the end of a busy day.

This multi-level home has been extended over the years and has been designed to fit in with the natural landscape. You take a few steps up from the lounge to access a double bedroom, shower room and the utility. This could be the perfect layout if tackling a full flight of stairs may be a struggle for someone in your family.

The first floor has a further three bedrooms and the luxurious family bathroom. The bathroom is particularly gorgeous, having both a shower and a slipper-style freestanding bath.

The main bedroom suite is impressive, with a walk-in-wardobe that’s bigger than many bedrooms and a stylish ensuite shower room.

If you’ve noticed the solar panels on the roof you shouldn’t be surprised to learn the property also makes use of the latest tech inside. The house benefits from underfloor heating and there's a neat drop down screen in the lounge.

There’s also plenty to enjoy outside despite the relatively small plot. There’s secure parking on the gravel drive, a decked seating area that wraps around the property and a mature, multi-level private garden.

When you’re sitting out in your secluded garden, listening to the birdsong with a glass of something chilled, you wouldn’t imagine that you’re less than an hour from Central London.

It’s only a short walk down the hill to the station, with frequent trains that will get you to London Bridge or Victoria in around 40 minutes.

There’s plenty to enjoy closer to home, with a great choice of local shops, cafés and restaurants around 10 minutes drive away on Purley High Street. For an even greater choice, Croydon town Centre is only 20 minutes drive away (or around 15 minutes on the train).

This is a versatile property that would suit a wide range of buyers, including families.

With that in mind it's good to know that the local Harris Primary Academy is both “Outstanding” and less than 10 minutes walk away.

Older kids have a little further to travel to reach Riddlesdown Collegiate but the journey to Purley will be worth it as this is another “Outstanding” school.

This unusual property won’t appeal to everyone but if you’re looking for a spacious and versatile period property in a quiet, leafy setting, it could be just perfect.
