About this property

On a wide, landscaped plot situated on one of the most sought-after private roads in the area, an impressive, detached Edwardian residence with accommodation in excess of 3,200 sq. ft. set within delightful, south backing gardens of approximately half an acre.

Set in a prime location on a sought-after private road within walking distance of Warlingham Green, a handsome, detached house with spacious accommodation in excess of 3,200 sq ft (excluding garaging). Constructed in the early part of the twentieth century, the house has characterful external elevations typical of the Edwardian period with painted render at first floor level with red brick to the ground floor under a tall, pitched tiled roof. Beautifully maintained by the present owners, who have been careful to preserve the architectural detailing such as high ceilings with coving, an elegant staircase and sash windows, during their period of ownership they have also added a superb extension to the side, thereby creating a large, open plan kitchen/breakfast room with expansive principal bedroom suite above. Room sizes are generous and the large windows and French doors allow for an abundance of natural light and for views over the landscaped gardens. Leading off from the reception hall are three reception rooms, all well proportioned and providing ideal spaces for family life and entertaining, including the sitting room - which has two large bay windows and a fireplace with stone surround, the atmospheric dining room with an original fireplace and the study. With doors from the study and sitting room, the orangery-style sun/family room has a vaulted ceiling with large atrium and French doors out to the rear garden. The impressively spacious, open-plan kitchen/breakfast room has a triple aspect with a marvellous outlook over the rear and front gardens and is fitted with a range of wooden cabinetry with central island and is supported by a good-sized utility room. An easy rising staircase leads to the landing on the first floor, where there are five bedrooms. The principal suite is marvellously indulgent and is fitted with a range of wardrobes and an en suite bath/shower room. Elsewhere are four further bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, whilst the family bathroom services the remainder.

Outside
Approached by an ‘in and out’ gravel drive, sweeping in front of the house to the detached garaging, providing ample off-road parking, the house holds a commanding position within a favoured, private road. Taking full advantage of the south/southwest aspect, the secluded gardens have been landscaped to ensure year-round colour and interest and have wide lawns, mature hedging to the boundaries, colourful herbaceous borders, shrubs such as laurel and magnolia, a rose garden and stone terracing that traverses the rear of the house.
