Brand new luxury eco friendly apartments

The Webb Estate in Purley on the Southern outskirts of Croydon is renowned for its beauty, its history and its famous residents. Just West of the town centre of Purley, William Webb, after whom this sought after residential area is named, began to lay out a garden in 260 acres in 1888. Into this veritable oasis of charm and restfulness he places 225 houses; each carefully sited and planned for a new community.

In 2007, the area is still beautiful, still sought after and continues to maintain what he felt was a “Garden Village” appeal. William Webb was ahead of his time when he wrote

“Those who work their brands at full speed during business hours require more than the rest that is obtained from sleep at night; their minds and nerves require the refreshment that is derived from beautiful surroundings, and from sights, sounds and scents which by their nature and from association are restful”.

Stringent covenants have ensured that the estate has kept most of its character intact and the whole estate is now a Conservation Area. It is at this location that Silver Homes is building high quality, eco friendly apartments.

Silver Homes is a company well known within the industry for its great attention to detail, quality of build in the traditional manner and ambience of understated luxury.
The homes currently under construction at Wakeling Manor, Foxley Lane in Purley will provide a choice of apartments and penthouses behind handsome electronically operated gates. Each home will have underground parking.

Keeping in the tradition of the area of ensuring home owners enjoy beautiful gardens, the company is building a ‘footprint’ of just 25% of the plot, the rest being given over to sweeping landscaped grounds.

Purley has a rail station with excellent links to central London, Croydon and Gatwick airport. The town itself has a good range of local shops and an excellent Tesco store.
There are buses directly to Croydon which offers a wide range of shopping facilities, theatres, cinemas, night life, bars and restaurants. The area is well served for schools.

Surrounding Purley is some excellent open countryside including Epsom Downs famous for its racing but also providing year round facilities for walking and riding.
Cheam and Sutton are also within reasonable travelling distance.

Wakeling Manor will have homes ready for occupation around December 2007, for further information visit silver-homes.co.uk.
