Traditionally built in 1903 the house has appealing white rendered elevations with sash style and wide bay windows all under a tile roof. Link detached, the property is only connected to the neighbouring house on the ground floor by the utility room, shower room and store room and on the first floor, by the neighbouring property’s bathroom. It is understood that this area was an external store room in the past, when a single family owned both no. 11 and the house next door.

Set well back from the road, approached over a herringbone brick drive, the house has a pretty open timber porch with a tile roof. Inside, the charming Edwardian character is immediately apparent with the spacious hall and principal reception rooms having high ceilings, picture rails and cornicing typical of the period. The generously proportioned drawing room is particularly bright with a wide bay window flooding the room with natural light. Built into the bay, a window seat has cupboards below offering useful storage. There is also an attractive wooden fireplace with limestone insets which has space for an electric stove style fire. The dining room also has a fireplace and has French doors out to the garden.

The extended kitchen/breakfast room looks over the garden. Extended in the 19……. the breakfast area has plenty of space tor a dining table and chairs. Well fitted, the kitchen has farmhouse style cabinets in pine with stone effect worksurfaces. There is space for freestanding appliances.
Doors leads out to the back garden, a pantry and to an inner lobby which leads into the utility room. This area was converted by the current owners in 19….. to create the utility room, a shower room with W.C. and a store room.

From the hall, stairs rise to a galleried landing. Here, there are four generously sized bedrooms, providing ample space for a growing family or guests. The large family bathroom has a bath with shower above, W.C, bidet and a hand basin.

Outside, to the front, the well maintained herringbone brick drive provides parking for several vehicles. At the top of the drive is a detached garage (which we understand has an asbestos roof). A gate leads into the back garden where a wide paved terrace spans the rear of the house. Perfect for relaxing or entertaining, the beautiful garden has attractively planted beds, together with mature trees and shrubs providing year round colour and texture. The remainder of the garden is predominately laid to lawn and there is a wooden deck offering an alternate space in which to enjoy the evening sun.East Hill Road is a highly desirable location just a short walk into Oxted Town and the mainline rail station.
