23b, Kendall Avenue South, Sanderstead, CR2 0QR

A Spectacular 2026 Spin On A Suburban Semi. All the other family homes on this leafy street have history - this one’s brand new.

For a modern family it’s a much better move than modernising an old home, you get the latest in luxury over three spacious floors and a landscaped 30m back garden.

Buying a period property and bringing it up to a modern standard is a project that tends to cost more, takes longer and causes more arguments than anyone ever thinks about at the start.

And however good the renovation is, you’re always adding new stuff to old, which can be tricky. Here, someone else has already done the hard part - and done it very, very well.

From the outside, the red brick and white render makes a confident statement on a street of traditional bay-fronted semis.

It fits in with the rest of the street - but it still stands out just enough to get noticed. Inside, everything is brand new, finished to a spec that turns heads.

At the front, a separate living room gives you somewhere to close the door on the rest of the house.

At the back, the kitchen-diner runs to nearly 27 feet - white shaker cabinets with brushed brass handles, a quartz peninsula, integrated appliances and amber pendant lights that give the whole space a warm glow in the evening.

Wide sliding doors pull fully open onto a raised porcelain terrace, then stone steps take you up to the landscaped lawn that stretches almost 30m.

Up the oak-banistered staircase, the first floor has three bedrooms and two bathrooms - both finished in floor-to-ceiling marble-effect tiling.

The principal bedroom on this floor has its own ensuite with a deep bath and wall-mounted taps.

A second ensuite serves the third bedroom, with a walk-in rainfall shower and a floating walnut vanity unit.

The main bedroom suite takes up the whole of the 2nd floor, stretching to over 17 feet wide, with two skylights pulling light in from above and a Velux to the side.

The ensuite up here is a different palette altogether - warm stone-effect tiles, a rainfall shower and a dark fluted vanity unit that feels more boutique hotel than suburban semi.

Purley Oaks station is only a five minute walk away, with trains reaching London Bridge in under 35 minutes.

Sanderstead is about nine minutes in the other direction if you prefer the ThamesLink or need a Plan B.

Purley's shops, cafes and restaurants are a 15-minute walk, and Christ Church CofE Primary, rated “Good” by Ofsted, is close enough that the school run doesn't need a car.

If you've been weighing up the cost and hassle of renovating an older family home against starting fresh in something genuinely luxurious and special, this might make the decision very easy.
