A DISTINCTIVE PERIOD HOME
Rich in character and impressive in scale, this substantial five-bedroom period home offers approximately 2,918 sq ft of accommodation, together with an additional 954 sq ft of cellar space. Arranged over three principal floors, the property combines generous reception rooms, versatile bedrooms and wonderful architectural detail. Recently whitewashed throughout and complemented by newly fitted bathrooms, the interiors feel fresh, bright and ready for a new owner to make their own.
A MEMORABLE WELCOME
The entrance opens into a wonderfully spacious reception hall, where high ceilings, natural wooden flooring and an elegant staircase immediately reveal the proportions and character of the house. Decorative iron balustrades rise through the centre of the property, creating a striking architectural feature and drawing natural light between the floors. The crisp white finish provides a calm, neutral backdrop while allowing the original proportions and period details to take centre stage.
ROOM TO LIVE AND ENTERTAIN
The ground floor provides three separate reception rooms, allowing family life to unfold with ease. The sitting room is particularly generous, with a traditional fireplace providing an attractive focal point and glazed doors opening directly onto the garden. A formal dining room creates an inviting setting for celebrations and long lunches, while the additional family room offers flexibility as a relaxed everyday living space, playroom or study. Wooden floors and freshly whitewashed walls bring warmth and light throughout.
THE KITCHEN
The kitchen retains a simple, characterful style, with white cabinetry, tiled splashbacks and traditional quarry-tiled flooring. Tall leaded windows bring in plenty of natural light, while the generous dimensions offer room for further freestanding furniture or additional preparation space. An adjoining utility area provides practical space for laundry appliances and everyday household storage, with direct access outside making it particularly useful after time spent in the garden.
ACCOMODATION
Three bedrooms occupy the first floor, including an impressive principal room measuring over 20 feet in length. The remaining bedrooms are also well proportioned, offering excellent flexibility for children, guests or home working. Two further double bedrooms are positioned on the second floor, creating a degree of privacy that could suit older children, visitors or a dedicated work-from-home arrangement. The upper floors retain the home’s distinctive character, with varied ceiling lines and far-reaching views.
BEAUTIFULLY UPDATED BATHROOMS
The bedrooms are served by a selection of newly fitted bath and shower rooms arranged across the upper floors. Finished in a fresh contemporary style, they provide a crisp contrast to the period character found throughout the house. Their positioning across both bedroom levels ensures practical facilities for family members and guests alike, while the additional ground-floor cloakroom is conveniently placed for everyday use and entertaining.
A REMARKABLE CELLAR
Beneath the house lies an extensive cellar extending to approximately 954 sq ft and arranged as two substantial spaces with adjoining passageways. This exceptional additional area provides valuable storage and considerable versatility, with scope to accommodate wine storage, a workshop, gym or hobby areas, subject to any necessary permissions and improvements. Few homes offer such an abundance of ancillary space alongside the principal accommodation.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
Outside, the property is approached through gates onto an expansive gravelled frontage, providing generous off-road parking for numerous vehicles. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by established boundaries, offering a wonderful sense of space around the house. Paved areas adjoining the property provide natural places for outdoor seating and dining, while the open layout presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to introduce further landscaping and create a garden tailored to their lifestyle.
PLATFORM NOTE
The property also offers the oppurtunity to create a detached garage with full approved planning permission. Full details can be found on the Tandridge District Council website using the application number: 2013/915
