Upper West Street, Reigate, Surrey, RH2

A CHARMING CHARACTERFUL DETACHED PROPERTY IN A CENTRAL LOCATION WITH STUNNING ESTABLISHED GROUNDS

The White House is a truly unique and enchanting detached home, enviably located just moments from the heart of Reigate town centre. Tucked away in a remarkably peaceful position, it sits within beautifully established gardens of approximately half an acre- a rare and idyllic oasis in such a central location.

Originally three separate cottages, the oldest part of this Grade II listed property date back to the 17th Century, with a sympathetic Victorian extension added to the rear. Over the years, the property has been thoughtfully and respectfully updated, retaining a wealth of historic features that reflect its rich architectural heritage.

The ground floor accommodation spans both the oldest and Victorian sections of the home, offering a series of versatile and elegant rooms. Within the original part of the house, is a useful home office, an elegant dining room with carved panelled walls, exposed ceiling beams, and an attractive stone fireplace, together with a sitting room, a music room, and a downstairs shower room. A cellar provides useful wine and general storage.

To the rear, the Victorian wing houses a delightful breakfast room with French doors to the patio, a traditional kitchen with Rangemaster cooker, a utility area, and a butler’s pantry- all enhanced by attractive polished brick flooring that complements the period feel.

The first floor provides five bedrooms, the principal bedroom having built-in wardrobes and a spacious ensuite bathroom with bath and separate shower. Four further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with freestanding roll top bath and a vaulted ceiling, and an ensuite shower room to one of the rear bedrooms.

This remarkable home offers a rare combination of historical charm, generous accommodation, and exceptional outdoor space, all within a stone’s throw of Reigate’s vibrant town centre- a true hidden gem.

OUTSIDE
The White House benefits from two areas of gated off-road parking- to the front on Upper West Street, and to the rear, accessed via Nutley Lane. The rear parking area is particularly spacious, leading to a detached double garage and a kitchen garden with raised beds and fruit trees. This space is concealed from the main house behind established hedging.

Within the grounds is a summer house with power, and a greenhouse which features automated roof lights and has its own water reservoir.

The beautiful walled garden is mainly laid to lawn, with well-stocked flower beds providing colour throughout the season.

An outdoor swimming pool is heated via an air source heatpump. Patio seating surrounds the pool.


LOCATION
The White House enjoys a prime central position within easy reach of all local amenities.

Excellent schools for all ages in both the state and independent sector are a strong draw for this area. These include Dunottar and Reigate Grammar.
