Purley Magna is located in the desirable village of Purley on Thames, Berkshire. The property is a substantial maisonette offering spacious accommodation. The location benefits from being close to good schools, including Westwood Farm Infant and Junior Schools (both rated as Outstanding or Good by Ofsted) and Purley CofE Primary School (rated Good). Several railway stations are within a reasonable distance, providing convenient access to Reading and other towns. The extensive grounds include beautifully landscaped gardens and a tennis court, adding significant value.

The property itself appears to be in excellent condition, having undergone what seems to be a high-quality renovation. The interior finishes are modern and well-maintained, and the property benefits from a modern kitchen and bathrooms. The period features have been tastefully preserved, giving the property character and charm. The substantial plot size of 5,713 square feet is a key feature.

Considering the average house price in the area is £532,065 and the average price per square foot is £394, the list price of £2,000,000 for this 1,558.29 sqft property seems high. However, the unique features of this property, including its size, condition, location, and extensive grounds, justify a premium price. The nearby comparable properties on Purley Magna itself show a range of prices, indicating that the market for this type of property in this location is varied. The lack of sqft data for nearby listings makes a precise comparison difficult. The property’s exceptional condition and large plot size are likely significant factors contributing to its higher-than-average price per sqft.

Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
