About this property

Enjoying fabulous views and within a sought-after private estate a short walk of the centre of Reigate, yet perfectly positioned for country walks, a contemporary take on neo classical architecture, presented with great style and set within charming, landscaped gardens.

Within a short walk of all the vibrant town of Reigate has to offer, yet set within the elegance of a gated, private estate, a detached house of quality, enjoying far reaching views to the south and private, part-walled landscaped gardens. Wallfield Park is a fine, private estate laid out over approximately three acres of communal parkland, which encompasses a handsome nineteenth century mansion converted into gracious apartments together with a few contemporary, detached homes. One such is situated in a discreet, tucked away position and approached by its own private gated drive. With architecture very much a contemporary take on the classical designs of the renaissance architect Palladio, the double-fronted exteriors are of pale stucco with a central pediment and large, double -glazed windows. Internally the accommodation is arranged over two floors and extends to approximately 2,817 square feet – excluding outbuildings. The windows perfectly frame the outlook over the gardens and the views beyond as well as allowing for an abundance of natural light to flood through the property. Styled with quiet sophistication and flair by the current owners, features include high ceilings, underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and bath/shower rooms, an intelligent lighting system as well as hardwiring for internet access and a Nuaire ventilation and air filtering system. The ground floor is given over to a gracious drawing/dining room with a dual aspect including French doors out to the rear garden and a fireplace with an elegant marble surround, whilst the study is to the front. With cabinetry by the renowned designer Poggenpohl, the kitchen/living room has a triple aspect and is fitted with contemporary style wall and base units and a large central island with integrated appliances by Gaggenau. There is a fitted, button back seated area for casual dining and ample space for lounge furniture. From the kitchen a door opens through to a large and very useful laundry room. Arranged over the upper level are five excellent bedrooms, supported by three bathrooms and a shower room, three of which are en-suite. The principal bedroom has fabulous views, a dressing area with wall to wall fitted wardrobes and a large en-suite bathroom with separate shower. Two of the remaining four bedrooms have fitted storage and there are additional storage cupboards on the first level as well as access to the large loft.

Outside
Approached via pair of painted, estate style wrought-iron gates opening on to the wide, gravelled parking and turning area in front to the house and the outbuilding, the gardens are part walled to the front and side with mature beech hedging to the boundaries at the rear, from where there is a gate on to the sports fields and further to Reigate Heath. There are various herbaceous borders planted with an array of colourful perennials, roses and shrubs, box hedging and level lawns. Terracing traverses the rear of the house which is ideal for enjoying the views and outdoor entertaining. The outbuilding is an attractive, timber space with the central portion currently large enough to take two small cars and there are workshops to either side. In addition to the private garden, the house has access to the estate’s communal gardens.

Situation
Less than a third of a mile from the centre of Reigate, which nestles at the foot of the Downs and is a historic market town that has thriving and vibrant community, where its picturesque centre hosts an array of amenities, from restaurants, cafes and traditional English pubs to high-end boutiques, nationally known stores and art galleries. Reigate Heath is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is a local Nature Reserve. The delightful 18th Century Priory Park has undergone regeneration over the last few years with lakes, a picnic area, café, children’s adventure playground and plenty of other facilities and activities to keep the whole family entertained. Conveniently situated for commuter access to London, Reigate Rail Station is under a mile away providing direct services to London Bridge and Victoria in approximately 39 minutes.
