Highlands Mews, Highlands Road, Leatherhead, Surrey, KT22

OPEN HOUSE ON 28TH MARCH - 11:30am - 13:00pm

The current owners describe Plum Tree House as a wonderful and well-connected retreat. For them it has been a perfect home - for reading and writing books, having friends for dinner in the garden, growing fruits and greens, and as a base for walks in the nearby forests and hills.
It is located in a highly desirable area, a short walk from the train station, town centre and multiple parks and nature trails. Nestled along a riverside route into the Surrey Hills, the house offers beautiful views and excellent access to the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty as well as regular trains to London.
The property was built in 2006 and has been kept in an exceptional condition. It is a three-storey, end-of-terrace house with three bedrooms, two bathrooms (one with underfloor heating), a separate shower room and a fitted front-facing kitchen with integrated oven and granite surfaces.
A spacious and sun-filled living room opens out to a peaceful cottage garden with plum tree, patio, lawn and raised beds - surrounded by other gardens and trees. The garden is bounded by a characterful old wall with climbing plants, connecting this modern home with a piece of local history.
The house has generous storage, including built-in cupboards, under-stairs cupboard and storage areas in the eaves. It has a dedicated parking and guest parking, fenced off and set back from the road.
Recent improvements include exterior and interior maintenance (painting, windows, facades) and new appliances (boiler, fridge, dishwasher). The house is environmentally friendly with double glazing and good energy efficiency.
