This extended family home offers spacious accommodation arranged over three floors, overlooking an attractive green within this popular Caterham development.

The entrance hall includes built-in storage and leads through to the living room positioned at the front of the house. Solid oak flooring runs through much of the ground floor, adding warmth and continuity between the living spaces. The kitchen has been designed with everyday family living in mind and is fitted with a range of matching wall and base units together with a Siemens oven, four-ring gas hob, larder cupboard and space for free-standing appliances, including an American-style fridge freezer and tumble dryer. The kitchen opens directly into the dining/conservatory area, creating a sociable space that works equally well for day-to-day living and entertaining, with double doors opening onto the rear garden. Both the kitchen and conservatory benefit from underfloor heating, whilst the upper floors are served by a zoned underfloor heating system with individual thermostats to each level.

One of the bedrooms enjoys an attractive outlook across the green to the front and includes sliding wardrobes, available by separate negotiation. The loft conversion has created an excellent principal bedroom suite occupying the top floor, complete with an en suite shower room, fitted storage and a separate study area ideal for home working.
