A substantial and beautifully presented Edwardian detached family home, occupying an exceptional position adjoining Kenley Common to both the side and rear. Surrounded by mature trees and protected green space, the house has a wonderfully private, semi-rural feel, yet is within easy reach of excellent schools, two railway stations and local amenities.

The house offers generous and exceptionally versatile accommodation, combining the proportions and character of an Edwardian home with the open, sociable spaces that work so well for modern family life.

A welcoming entrance porch opens into a spacious hallway. To the front are two separate reception rooms: a cosy snug with log burner and a further room currently used as a home office/playroom.
At the heart of the house is the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining room. A large central island with granite worktops provides a natural gathering place, while the kitchen includes a Rangemaster cooker, integrated dishwasher and generous storage. Bi-fold doors open directly onto the covered terrace and garden, creating a lovely connection between indoors and out.
The kitchen and dining space flows naturally through to a large separate family living room, with plenty of space for relaxed family seating and further doors overlooking and opening onto the garden. Together, these spaces create a fantastic hub for everyday family life and entertaining, while retaining the benefit of clearly defined rooms.
Also on the ground floor is an additional highly versatile room, currently arranged as a second home office and occasional guest bedroom. Generously proportioned and separate from the main living areas, it could equally work as a fifth bedroom, playroom, hobby room, teenage den or dedicated home office, allowing the house to adapt as a family’s needs change.
A generous utility room and downstairs WC complete the ground-floor accommodation.

Upstairs are four genuine double bedrooms. The bright dual-aspect principal bedroom features an attractive bay window and modern en-suite shower room. A second double bedroom also has its own en-suite, while the remaining two double bedrooms are served by the family bathroom and separate WC. The spacious landing has a large picture window looking out towards the surrounding trees.

Outside

The setting is one of the home’s most special features. Kenley Common borders the property to both the side and rear, giving the house and garden an unusually green and secluded outlook and a real sense of being surrounded by countryside.
The extensive rear garden offers generous lawn, mature trees and planting, with plenty of space for children, entertaining and relaxing. A covered terrace immediately outside the kitchen/dining room provides an excellent all-weather outdoor seating and dining area.
At the end of the garden, a private gate opens directly onto Kenley Common, putting woodland and countryside walks literally on the doorstep.
To the front, an attractive carriage driveway provides ample off-street parking for several vehicles. The garage is currently arranged as a home gym, while retaining the flexibility to be used as a traditional garage or storage space.

Location

Whyteleafe Hill is a sought-after residential road, combining excellent connectivity with immediate access to open countryside.
Both Whyteleafe and Upper Warlingham railway stations are within easy reach, providing services towards London, while the M25 is accessible at Junction 6.
