Devon Crescent, Redhill

Guide price: £1,050,000 to £1,100,000.

There’s something incredibly special about stepping through a bold blue front door framed by Edwardian red brick and stained glass. This handsome semi-detached townhouse offers that rare combination of period charm and smart, contemporary design - all wrapped up in a home that feels deeply welcoming.

Nestled behind a mature tree on a quiet crescent, it has the classic curb appeal you’d expect from its era: traditional bay and sash windows, tiled steps, and an arched porch that hints at the elegance within. Inside, the house unfolds in generous proportions, designed for modern family life without losing sight of its heritage.

The main reception room has been thoughtfully opened up, creating a glorious, light-filled space perfect for gatherings or lazy Sundays. At the front, the wide bay window is dressed with bespoke shutters for both style and privacy, while the iron fire surround - complete with intricate tile work and a statement marble mantel - invites you to light the fire and curl up with a book. To the rear, another period fireplace and delicate French doors keep the atmosphere cosy, even as light pours in from both directions.

The kitchen/breakfast room is a real heart-of-the-home moment: a masterclass in how to honour an older property while embracing the practicalities of modern living. Soft-toned shaker cabinetry, oak worktops, and tongue-and-groove panelling create a warm, timeless feel, while metro tiles and chrome hardware add a dash of crisp polish.

Skylights and bifold doors let the light dance through, drawing you out into a garden that’s pure lifestyle goals - part Mediterranean-inspired patio with micro-cemented walls for alfresco dinners, part tiered English garden with mature planting, a west-facing lawn for golden hour games, and a tucked-away spot perfect for the BBQ.

Downstairs, the lower ground floor is currently a dedicated family and playroom, a brilliant bonus space that could just as easily become a snug cinema room, teenage den or hobby haven. And throughout the house, the palette remains calm and neutral, with picture rails, painted floorboards, and traditional radiators all gently nodding to the home’s Edwardian roots without feeling overly formal.

On the first floor, three doubles are served by a beautifully styled family bathroom: soft green tones, tongue and groove panelling, and hotel-luxe Burlington sanitary ware under a large window that floods the space with natural light. The front bedroom mirrors the charm of the sitting room below, with its own decorative fireplace, and all rooms offer leafy outlooks to either the mature front garden or the layered greenery at the rear.

The top floor houses a serene principal suite, a spacious retreat with calming paint colours, statement wall lights, and plenty of under-eaves storage. The adjoining shower room feels chic and practical, with metro tiles, a large walk-in shower, and modern fixtures. A fifth bedroom next door doubles as the perfect work-from-home spot or could be adapted into a dressing room, should you wish to create a true sanctuary across the entire second floor.

Devon Crescent sits in a particularly appealing pocket of Redhill, quietly nestled between the buzz of Redhill town centre and the characterful charm of Reigate. This equidistant spot means you’re perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of both worlds, whether it’s a quick dash to Redhill’s shopping and transport links, or a leisurely weekend stroll down Reigate’s historic high street, lined with independent boutiques, bakeries, and cafés. It’s a location that balances convenience with lifestyle, ideal for those wanting a little bit of everything within easy reach.

Families will appreciate the proximity to a choice of well-regarded local schools, while those who commute have the luxury of two mainline train stations nearby, offering direct links to London, Gatwick, and the coast. The M25 is also just a short drive away for those heading further afield. On the doorstep, the Hatch pub, just a stone’s throw away, offers a stylish neighbourhood hangout with a modern menu, craft beers, and a lively community atmosphere. Redhill’s recently regenerated town centre is just minutes away, with a cinema, gym, supermarkets, and essential amenities all easily accessible.

For a breath of fresh air, there’s no shortage of green space nearby. Priory Park in Reigate is a local favourite, with its scenic lake, café, and well-equipped playground, while Redhill Common offers sweeping views and peaceful walking trails. Whether you’re heading into town, out into nature, or simply popping to the shops, Devon Crescent places you at the centre of it all, with a rhythm that suits both busy weekdays and slow Sunday mornings.
