What If Your New Family Home Had Hundreds Of Years Of History Built Into Its Walls? This former 19th century blacksmith's forge combines exposed stone features with a modern open plan kitchen and living space for 21st century family life, with London Bridge only 40 minutes away.

Family homes don't usually come with this much backstory. We believe this one's been a boathouse, then in the 1800’s a blacksmith's forge - and now it's ready for Act III - school bags by the door and Sunday roasts in the oven.

The kitchen is a good place to start. Smart white high-gloss units run the length of two walls, topped with solid wood worktops, and there's a freestanding Smeg cooker, plus space for a dishwasher and all the usual extras.

Beyond the kitchen, the open plan living and dining space has the original stone walls left exposed as a reminder of what this building used to be.

Upstairs, the four bedrooms are split across the first and second floors, so everyone gets their own space, with one bedroom doubling nicely as a study if you need it.

Two stylish bathrooms mean no queuing on school mornings. The main bathroom has a full size bath with warm marble-effect tiling, while the second bathroom keeps things simple with a large walk-in shower.

Outside, the private back garden's been set up to be enjoyed rather than maintained. Artificial grass and a block paved seating area mean the rattan loungers can come out without anyone needing to cut the grass first, and there's parking at the side too - so handy given the central village spot.

Getting into London couldn't be much easier. Upper Warlingham station is less than five minutes' walk away, with Whyteleafe station just two minutes the other way. Both run direct Southern services into London Bridge and Victoria, taking around 35 to 40 minutes.

Whyteleafe sits right on the edge of the North Downs, so the Surrey Hills make for an easy weekend escape, and the local primary school is about five minutes' walk away too.

If you want a commuter-friendly family home that makes a refreshing change from a soulless new build or a traditional Victorian terrace or typical semi, this unique building ticks both boxes.

Given this is a real one-off we’re expecting plenty of interest, so get in touch to arrange a viewing.
