We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Frost Estate Agents are delighted to present this rarely available detached true lateral bungalow, occupying a level plot within one of Kenley's most peaceful and sought-after cul-de-sac locations.
Offering almost 2,000 sq/ft of accommodation including the garage, this spacious home presents a superb opportunity for buyers looking to undertake a complete refurbishment and create a bespoke family residence tailored entirely to their own tastes and requirements.
The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged across a single level and begins with a welcoming entrance hall providing access to all principal rooms.
To the front of the property is an impressive reception room, the adjoining dining room enjoys a pleasant outlook over the rear garden and connects directly to the conservatory.
The kitchen sits adjacent to the dining room and offers excellent potential to be reconfigured or extended, subject to the usual planning consents.
The bungalow provides five well-proportioned bedrooms, offering exceptional flexibility for growing families, those requiring home office space, or buyers seeking multi-generational living.
The bedrooms are serviced with a bathroom, shower room and separate WC.
Externally, the property occupies a level plot with gardens surrounding the home, providing an excellent blank canvas for landscaping and outdoor entertaining.
A substantial detached garage offers generous storage, workshop potential or secure parking, complemented by additional driveway parking.
This is a genuine opportunity to acquire a spacious lateral bungalow in a wonderful quiet setting where properties of this nature rarely become available.
Requiring complete modernisation throughout, it offers immense scope to transform into a stunning forever home, all within easy reach of Kenley's excellent transport links, local amenities and surrounding open green spaces.
Location and Transportation From Kenley Station you can take your pick from Victoria or London Bridge as destinations – all around 35 minutes’ travel time.
Road links are excellent too, with the A23 a matter of minutes away, providing fast, easy access to London, the South Coast and the M25.
There is now a hail down hopper bus service that runs down Wattendon Road - the 434.
Kenley is a beautiful part of South London, leafy green in nature with a seamless relaxed environment feel and an abundance of protected trees throughout the area.
Kenley Common comprises 138 acres of green open space surrounding the former Battle of Britain airfield. It is a mixture of chalk grassland and ancient woodland set among gently rolling hills.
Blessed with fine views across the Caterham valley and the North Downs beyond, visitors find it hard to believe that the centre of London is only 14 miles to the north.
Nearby towns of Purley & Coulsdon offer an array of independent shops, cafes and supermarkets, further afield the Purley Way A23 presents all the retail giants and warehouse out of town shopping stores.
