Althorne Road, Earlswood

There’s something rather special about Althorne Road. Tucked away in one of Redhill’s most desirable pockets, this quiet residential street is just moments from the green expanses of Earlswood Common and within easy reach of the station — making it a perfect retreat for those who want village calm with the convenience of city connections.

The house itself, a detached four-bedroom home, has been completely transformed in recent years. Its smart, contemporary finish is balanced by a warmth and charm that instantly makes you feel at home. From the moment you step through the door, the flow of the layout feels effortless, a space that’s been thoughtfully designed for modern living.

At the heart of the house lies the kitchen and dining area: a glorious open-plan space that captures the light from above through skylights and pours it in through wide bi-fold doors. On sunny days, these doors peel back to blur the line between inside and out, creating the perfect setting for summer suppers and lazy Sunday brunches. The adjoining utility room keeps the practicalities neatly tucked away, so the main space can sing.

To the front, the separate living room offers a quieter corner of the house, the sort of room where you can close the door, light the fire, and unwind at the end of the day. Elsewhere on the ground floor, there’s a fourth bedroom that could easily double as a playroom or snug, and a dedicated study that makes working from home a pleasure rather than a compromise. The integral garage, complete with electric roller door adds welcome storage and versatility.

Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms continue the home’s sense of calm and cohesion. The main bedroom is a serene retreat, complete with built-in wardrobes and a sleek en-suite shower room. The two additional bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom, elegant and understated in its design.

Outside, the landscaped garden is both smart and low-maintenance, with just enough greenery to soften the lines of the modern extension. There’s off-street parking on the front driveway, and the sense of space and light that defines the interior carries seamlessly through to the exterior.

Althorne Road is perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of Earlswood and Redhill. With local parks, independent cafes, and Earlswood train station all within walking distance, it offers the ideal balance of village charm and urban convenience.

Families are well-catered for, with a selection of highly regarded schools nearby, including Earlswood Infant and Nursery School, St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School, and Reigate School for secondary education.

For commuters, Earlswood train station is just a short stroll away, offering frequent services to London Bridge and Victoria, as well as connections to Gatwick Airport and Brighton. The nearby A23 and M25 provide excellent road links, making this an ideal location for those needing access to London or further afield.
