Redehall Road, Smallfield, RH6

Dating from 1895, this deceptively spacious Victorian home combines period character with thoughtfully designed contemporary living, generous storage and a wonderful connection between the house and its established gardens.

The ground floor offers two individual sitting rooms, each with its own character. The east-facing front sitting room is filled with morning light and becomes a particularly cosy retreat in winter, with a log-burning stove, recently replaced traditional sash windows with fitted shutters and bespoke walnut cabinetry.

The second sitting room overlooks the garden through a large, recently replaced picture window and provides a wonderfully cool and peaceful space during the summer months. Bespoke pippy oak glazed display cabinets and fitted bookshelves complete the room.

To the rear, the west-facing kitchen enjoys the afternoon and evening light and opens directly onto the garden, creating a natural connection between the house and its outdoor living spaces.

The gardens have been thoughtfully designed by the current owners to provide year-round structure, greenery and interest while also being productive. Established planting sits alongside vegetable-growing areas and fruit trees including fig, pear and apricot, while five pleached evergreen Elaeagnus provide screening, structure and fragrant flowers along the northern boundary. A choice of terraces and seating areas provides different places from which to enjoy the garden throughout the day.

A particular feature is the substantial garden room, creating an additional living and entertaining space with the benefit of full insulation, underfloor heating and a hard-wired broadband connection. Its south and east-facing aspect provides excellent natural light, with bifold doors opening the east-facing side directly onto the garden and a bespoke double sliding window overlooking the adjoining decked seating area. Extensive fitted storage adds practicality, while a fitted pergola over the decking provides welcome shade on sunny days.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, with the front bedroom benefiting from a recently replaced window, fitted shutters and engineered wood flooring. Two bedrooms have fitted sliding wardrobes, while the versatile loft room provides further fitted wardrobes and extensive under-eaves storage.

The property has two bathrooms: a ground-floor bathroom with bath and an upstairs wet-room shower.

Further flexibility is provided by the separate garden studio/home office and workshop, while gated off-street parking for several vehicles includes an EV charging point.

Existing planning permission provides the opportunity to further extend the house, creating a new bathroom and utility room and enlarging the second sitting room.

With morning sun at the front, evening light at the rear, beautifully considered productive gardens and versatile indoor and outdoor living spaces, this is an individual Victorian home offering considerably more than first appearances suggest.
