Local area
Purley has a bustling yet charming town centre where you’ll find all the amenities you could hope for: large supermarkets and small independent shops, high-street favourites and one-of-a-kind boutiques, pubs, cafes, bars and restaurants. There’s also several banks, a Post Office and even a public library (which hosts regular events for the community). You’ll also find the leisure centre on the high street, where over-60s swim for free. For those who play a sport, Purley Sports Club is just a mile from the development. Here you can join as a member for a particular sport, including bowls, cricket, squash and tennis, and discounts are offered for joining up for two or more. There’s even a dance studio that holds a variety of classes, including ballroom tuition.
If it’s fresh air and green spaces you’re looking for, you won’t need to go far. Purley Beeches – a pleasant stretch of parkland with a small woodland area and public tennis courts – is just a mile from the development. And it’s only 3.5 miles to Kenley Common, 139 acres of grassland and ancient woodland with great wildlife-spotting opportunities.
For all you golfers, Purley boasts two golf clubs. From Purley Downs Golf Club enjoy a round while admiring stunning views towards London’s iconic skyline. And Woodcote Park Golf Club is one of the longer courses in Surrey, which, being situated on top of the Downs, can pose a real challenge when the wind is blowing. Both clubs warmly welcome visitors and have great membership offers.
