Description

Under four miles south of the popular and thriving town of Reigate, a delightful country house of great character together with many attributes contributing to its desirability. Specially commissioned in the mid-1980s for a previous owner, the brief was to create a contemporary family home that incorporates
architectural styling from previous eras – as if it were a house that had evolved over the centuries – which was at one with its lovely surroundings. Therefore, exterior elevations are a wonderful mix of influences from the
baronial with the stone porticoed entrance, to high Victorian with its tall, handsome chimney stacks and the charm of early twentieth century tile hanging at first floor level. Window treatments are also varied with some oak framed with coloured glass and the remainder, double glazed casements. Under the care of the present ownership, much has been accomplished in upgrading the infrastructure including the installation of a ground source heat pump system, 3 phase electricity, an air source heat pump for the swimming pool and a new private drainage system. The result is the perfect opportunity to experience life in a period country house
that is totally in tune with the twenty-first century. With accommodation in the main house extending to in excess of 3,700 square feet, reception rooms are both formal and familial, including the Scottish lodge style
drawing room with its panelled ceiling, floor to ceiling fitted bookshelves with storage and magnificent marble fireplace, bright dining room that opens through to the conservatory and a comfortable sitting room which enjoys a double aspect with views over the gardens and an open fire with stone surround. The kitchen/breakfast room is open to the orangery and is a marvellous, sociable space. Comprehensively furnished with wall and base units, granite work surfaces and an oil fired, four oven Aga, the expansive ceiling glazing allows for much natural light to flood through as well as fabulous views across over the gardens and beyond. At lower ground level is a large media/games room. A majestic staircase rises to the upper level, across which are five double bedrooms serviced by three bath/shower rooms, two of which are en-suite. The principal bedroom has a triple aspect with windows framing the fabulous views, fitted storage and a large en-suite bathroom with
separate shower.

Outside

Approached off the lane by a long, sweeping private drive - owned by the property with neighbouring properties having a right of way over – passing through two electrically operated five-bar gates and a pair of
imposing brick pillars, leading on to a private parking and turning space in front of the house with a spur off to the outbuildings and annexe. The annexe itself has attractive weather boarded exteriors and is arranged to
provide two bedrooms with two shower rooms as well as a sitting room and a small kitchen. To one end is a second reception room currently used as an office. The gardens and grounds surround the house and are marvellous. Swathes of well-tended lawn are peppered with many varieties of small trees, colourful shrubs and herbaceous borders. There are many ‘stories’ within the grounds from more formal areas to the charms of wildflower and water meadows, river frontage of The Mole, light woodland that is carpeted with bluebells and wild garlic in the spring, to terraces in strategic locations for taking in the views and outdoor entertaining. The swimming pool has its own terrace and is heated by way of an air source heat pump and has a hot tub alongside, whist the tennis court is carpet and has recently been restored. Outbuildings for the lockable storage of equipment and vehicles have ample space as workshops and, within the woodland is a WWII pillbox.

Situation

The property is set off a country lane, in a secluded location yet is a short drive of excellent shopping, schools, transport links and Gatwick Airport. It is less than three and a half miles from the centre of Reigate with its thriving and vibrant community, where the picturesque centre hosts an array of amenities, from restaurants, cafés and traditional English pubs to high-end boutiques, nationally known stores and art galleries. There are everyday amenities to be found at Horley about three miles away, whilst Salfords station is under a mile and a half with direct, fast train links to London Bridge from forty-one minutes, London Victoria from fifty minutes and Gatwick in six minutes. There is an excellent range of schooling in the area at both primary and secondary levels, in the state and private sectors including Reigate Grammar, Dunotter, Micklefield, St Mary’s, the Royal Alexandra and Albert School and Caterham School, as well as Oakwood Secondary School, Langshott and Burstow primaries.
