Francis said he bought the home for £50,000 but said it climbed in value to around £2.75million.
Purley is a great location for those wanting access to city life and to see the stunning British landscapes.
Residents can quickly get to the centre of London and experience all the capital city has to offer.
It is also just a 30 minute drive from the beautiful Surrey Hills where Britons can enjoy a relaxing walk outside.
"As one of London's charming districts, Purley combines the perks of suburban tranquillity with excellent access to the capital's bustling centre," experts at Property Loop stated.
"Purley's captivating blend of nature, history, and architecture offers an array of exciting things to do and visit."
Although celebrities could live anywhere in the world, many choose to reside in peaceful parts of the UK.
