Park View Road, Woldingham, CR3

A strikingly remodelled five-bedroom residence set within 1.75 acres, enjoying exceptional views across Marden Park

Originally constructed in the 1960s, when it was a ‘Daily Mail Ideal Home’, White Lodge is a distinctive two-storey home that has been extensively remodelled, refurbished, and thoughtfully extended by the current owners over the past 20 years. The result is a beautifully modernised property that blends architectural heritage with contemporary luxury.

Approached via a newly laid block-paved driveway, the property offers ample parking and leads to a double garage. Double gates open into an enclosed courtyard area, providing additional privacy and rear access to the garage.

Set within approximately 1.75 acres, the grounds are a particular highlight. The property enjoys outstanding, far-reaching views across Marden Park, with beautifully landscaped formal gardens, level lawns, and areas of woodland. A raised terrace spans the rear of the house, ideal for entertaining, alongside a heated outdoor swimming pool that enhances the lifestyle offering.

Internally, the home is finished to a high standard throughout. The principal reception rooms feature elegant black walnut flooring, complemented by a striking sweeping, custom made black walnut staircase. Large picture windows and French doors from all three main entertaining areas flood the space with natural light and seamlessly connect the interior to the terrace and gardens beyond.

The heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen/breakfast/family room, complete with underfloor heating, bespoke German cabinetry, silestone work surfaces, and high-end integrated appliances. Additional ground floor accommodation includes a formal dining room, a generous lounge featuring an inset Danish stove, a third reception room, a utility room, boot room, and a cloakroom.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite enjoys a Juliet balcony with elevated views across Marden Park, along with a walk-in dressing room and a luxurious en suite bathroom fitted with Porcelanosa tiles and Laufen sanitaryware. A second bedroom also benefits from en suite facilities, while three further generously proportioned bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom, thoughtfully designed with a double sink and a large bath and separate shower.

Further benefits include gas central heating with high performance copper Jaga radiators, compliant private drainage, high-quality Danish double glazing with timber/aluminium finishes.

STEPPING OUTSIDE: The property is set within approximately 1.75 acres of beautifully maintained formal gardens and woodland, offering an exceptional sense of peace, space, privacy, and connection to the surrounding countryside. Enjoying far-reaching views across Marden Park from east to west, the grounds are perfectly positioned to capture truly spectacular sun rises and sets.

A raised, decked terrace provides an ideal seating and entertaining area, with steps leading down to a lower terrace where a 1.2m deep heated swimming pool is situated. The pool is efficiently warmed via an air source heat pump and benefits from a thermal cover. Adjacent, a charming pergola, adorned with climbing roses creates a tranquil and picturesque spot to relax, overlooking the pool—perfect for enjoying summer days while children play.

Beyond, steps lead to an extensive level lawn bordered by mature hedging, enhancing both privacy and the sense of tranquillity while continuing to showcase the impressive views. A gate opens onto a substantial woodland area, complete with a dedicated children’s play space featuring equipment such as a slide and trampoline. The woodland extends toward Marden Park itself, offering direct access to miles of open countryside and scenic walks.

To the front, the property is approached via a newly laid block-paved driveway, accessed through a traditional five-bar gate, providing ample off-road parking and leading to a double garage. Additional decorative double gates open into a spacious internal courtyard, which also provides rear access to the garage and a convenient entrance to the boot room.

White Lodge represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully appointed home in an exceptional semi-rural setting, combining privacy, peace, space, and breathtaking surroundings.
