Mansfield Drive, Merstham

Set on an unusually wide and private plot, this beautifully designed modern home on Mansfield Drive in Merstham is a masterclass in contemporary elegance. Built in 2022 by Beaufort Homes and still covered by the remainder of its 10-year new-build warranty, the house immediately makes an impression with its attractive yellow brick façade, sleek black-framed windows and matching front door, a subtle nod to modern architectural restraint.

Step inside and the tone is set by light-filled spaces and a soothing neutral palette. The reception room is a triumph of tactile detailing, with herringbone oak flooring underfoot and a beautifully panelled feature wall drawing the eye. An acoustic media wall cleverly zones the space for relaxation and entertainment.

At the rear of the house, the open-plan kitchen and dining area is designed with family living in mind. Sleek, handleless units mix with shaker-inspired tongue-and-groove cabinetry for a look that feels both crisp and characterful. A central island with integrated sink and breakfast bar invites gathering, while French doors open onto a generous and sunny garden.

Outside, the garden offers both form and function: a sanctuary for grown-up al fresco dining and a haven for children at play. Landscaped zones provide spaces for BBQs, long lunches in the sun, or simply enjoying a quiet morning coffee among the planting. Trees and soft painted fencing offer privacy and a sense of enclosure.

Upstairs, the principal suite is an elegant retreat with a sleek en suite shower room. One of the three bedrooms has been transformed into a beautifully appointed dressing room, complete with bespoke wardrobes, hidden compartments, and deep drawers, while the third offers versatility as a guest bedroom and stylish home office. A family bathroom, mirroring the en-suite’s understated luxury, completes the picture.

A large driveway welcomes you home, framed by well-kept borders and painted fencing that hint at the calm, considered interior beyond.

Mansfield Drive sits within a peaceful residential enclave in Merstham, offering the rare combination of a village feel with immediate access to transport links and green spaces. Merstham train station, just moments away, provides direct services into London Bridge and Victoria.

For weekend escapes, the surrounding countryside offers a network of footpaths and cycle routes through the Surrey Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just on the doorstep.
