Holly Hill Drive, Banstead, SM7

Set within a secure and peaceful environment on the edge of Banstead village, and rarely available, this outstanding country house apartment forms one of just six residences created within an elegant Edwardian home by Squires Bridge Homes in 2002. Measuring over 2,000sq feet, the apartment offers beautifully proportioned and impeccably maintained accommodation, ideally suited to those seeking both space and convenience, with easy access to everyday amenities allowing for a 'lock up and go' ability. Formerly part of the Banstead Wood estate, once owned by the brewing pioneer Charles Henry Garton, Holly Hill House was commissioned in 1912 as a private residence for his son. The building retains much of its original Edwardian character and architectural charm, which was thoughtfully preserved during its sympathetic conversion. Situated on the first floor, the apartment is notably light and spacious, enhanced by high ceilings and large windows, with a clear emphasis on proportion and flow throughout. Each room has been designed without compromise, resulting in a home that feels both elegant and highly functional.

The apartment offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, each thoughtfully arranged to maximise both comfort and practicality. The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive space, featuring generous proportions, a vast outlook over the grounds, and extensive fitted wardrobes. It is served by a well-appointed en-suite bathroom, fitted with a contemporary suite including a separate bath and shower, creating a calm and private retreat. The second bedroom is equally spacious and also benefits from fitted wardrobes, making it ideal for guests or family members, while enjoying easy access to the main bathroom.

The third bedroom is highly versatile and is currently arranged as an additional reception/ dining space with a study area, offering flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyles, whether as a home office, formal dining room or occasional bedroom. The kitchen/breakfast room is a standout feature of the home, set within a bay window that floods the space with natural light and provides an attractive outlook. It is fitted with a comprehensive range of cabinetry, complemented by ample work surfaces and integrated appliances, creating a highly functional yet sociable environment, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The main reception room is a beautifully proportioned space, notable for its high ceilings and large windows which frame delightful views over the communal gardens. There is ample room for both seating and entertaining areas, giving the room a natural versatility while maintaining an elegant and calm atmosphere.

The main bathroom is finished to a high standard, serving the additional bedrooms and guests alike, and is fitted with a modern suite that complements the en-suite in both style and quality. In addition, the property benefits from a useful private cellar storage room, providing valuable space for items not required on a daily basis, helping to maintain the uncluttered feel of the apartment.

Outside

The apartment is set within beautifully maintained communal gardens, which form a particularly special feature of the development. Laid out in a formal style, the grounds are predominantly laid to level lawn and framed by well-tended hedging, mature trees, and thoughtfully planted borders, creating a sense of structure and privacy throughout the seasons. At the heart of the gardens sits an attractive ornamental pond with fountain, providing a tranquil focal point and enhancing the overall sense of calm and seclusion.

The grounds offer a wonderful outlook from the apartment and a peaceful setting for residents to enjoy, whether for a quiet walk, informal seating, or simply appreciating the surroundings. Unusually for an apartment setting, the gardens provide a genuine sense of space and greenery, more akin to those of a private country house. The property also comes with allocated parking, visitor bays, and a garage.

Situation

Situated in a highly convenient position, Holly Hill Park lies just a short stroll from the heart of Banstead Village, offering an appealing balance of village charm and everyday practicality.
