Ashley Road, Epsom

Tucked away and set back from the road, Vine Cottage is accessed via an archway at 33 Ashley Road. Hidden behind No.33 is this charming flint fronted home that feels wonderfully secluded despite its convenient position. There is an immediate sense of privacy and character as you approach the cottage which occupies a particularly appealing and secluded setting. With approximately 764 sq ft of accommodation arranged over three floors, it offers a surprisingly versatile home with plenty of charm and individuality.

Stepping through the front door, you are greeted by the dining area, which provides a natural heart to the ground floor and creates a welcoming first impression. Two steps lead through to the bay fronted living room, where the proportions, wooden flooring and abundance of natural light combine to create a wonderfully comfortable space. Whether enjoying a quiet evening at home or having friends over for dinner, the arrangement gives the ground floor a relaxed and sociable feel, with the open staircase adding to the sense of connection between the rooms.

The first floor provides two genuine double bedrooms, both offering a good level of space and flexibility. The principal bedroom has the added character of an exposed brick fireplace cementing its period feel and continuing the cottage's charm. The open staircase rises directly from the living area, creating an attractive feature in its own right and giving the property a lovely sense of continuity between the different levels.

From the dining area, the kitchen is both practical and well equipped, with a good amount of storage and workspace for day to day living. Beyond the kitchen is a downstairs shower room, making excellent use of the available space. The layout is cleverly arranged, with each area feeling distinct while remaining connected to the main living space.

Another of the property's particularly useful features is the fully decorated basement, which adds a valuable layer of flexibility. Currently offering an excellent space for a home office or study, hobbies room or quiet retreat away from the main living accommodation. For anyone working from home, having this additional floor means it is possible to separate work and relaxation without compromising either.

Outside, the secluded courtyard garden is a real highlight. Tucked away from the road and enjoying a south easterly aspect, it provides a lovely private setting in which to enjoy the sunshine, whether that's a morning coffee, alfresco lunch or drinks with friends. Compact and easy to maintain, it complements the cottage perfectly and, together with the characterful architecture and versatile accommodation, makes Vine Cottage a home that offers considerably more than its unassuming position might initially suggest.
