Purley Bury – Purley, CR8
Purley Project — From Bungalow to Sustainable Family Home
Originally a modest 1950s bungalow, this property in Purley was completely transformed by Torwood Interiors into a contemporary two-storey family home designed for modern living.
The project involved a full redesign and rebuild, turning a single-level dwelling into a spacious, light-filled residence with bespoke interiors and a strong connection to the landscaped garden.
Every detail was carefully considered — from triple-glazed timber windows and high-performance insulation to rainwater recycling systems and sustainable material choices.
Inside, the home features elegant walnut joinery, a custom-built sauna, glass extensions, and open-plan living areas finished to an exceptional standard.
Combining design innovation, environmental responsibility, and craftsmanship, Torwood Interiors delivered a home that’s both beautiful and energy-efficient — a true example of how sustainable design can enhance everyday comfort and family lifeInside, natural light flows through the new open-plan layout, where oak flooring, a skylight, and a birch forest mural bring a calm, nature-inspired atmosphere. The kitchen was redesigned with a modern Wren layout and a stone worktop, while the bathrooms feature soft lighting, marble details, and a timeless, spa-like finish.
Outside, the house now features anthracite cladding, a new garage door, and a Marshalls Linear Metro granite driveway — completing a full transformation from a dated 1960s property into a stylish, energy-efficient family home.
