Croydon Road, Reigate

There is a sense of history that lingers in every corner of this handsome period home on Croydon Road, Reigate. With fireplaces standing as quiet witnesses to generations past, lofty ceilings that invite light to pour in, and the gentle charm of original features such as working gas fireplaces and the servant’s bell system—still in place as a charming nod to yesteryear—this is a property where character and comfort meet with effortless grace.

Set on a generous plot and approached by a sweeping driveway beneath the canopy of a grand old tree, this double-fronted Victorian home possesses a quiet majesty. A traditional front door framed by a stone porch with original tiled flooring opens to soaring ceilings, a graceful character staircase and polished parquet underfoot, where the symmetry and scale of its grand proportions create an atmosphere at once secluded, welcoming and unmistakably timeless.

The layout carefully balances Victorian elegance with space and grandeur. Two reception rooms, each anchored by working gas fireplaces, offer inviting spaces for entertaining or retreating with a book, while the conservatory offers a space for modernisation or extension (stpp). The modernised kitchen and dining space, with direct access to the garden, brings the rhythm of family life naturally outdoors, making it a home as well-suited for long summer lunches as it is for winter evenings by the fire.

Double doors unfurl into a generous garden, a private green haven framed by mature trees and spilling with sunshine throughout the day. Downstairs, two cellars have been given renewed purpose, one transformed into a cinematic escape and the other into a lively games room—spaces designed for conviviality and family enjoyment.

Upstairs, the three double bedrooms are full of charm, the principal bedroom boasting its own shower and basin, while a Jack and Jill bathroom connects the further bedroom with ease. The cove window in the third bedroom catches the morning light, framing leafy views. On the upper floor, two further bedrooms offer both flexibility and privacy—one a tranquil office, the other complete with an en suite. It is a house that adapts with you, holding its history close while opening itself fully to modern living.

Croydon Road is one of North Reigate’s most desirable addresses, perfectly positioned to enjoy both the natural beauty and urban convenience the area has to offer. The home enjoys far-reaching views across to Reigate Hill, a scenic haven for walks and outdoor pursuits. Wray Common, just footsteps away, provides further green space for dog walks.
