About this property

A five-bedroom Victorian family home with fantastic character, off street parking and a great location close to schools and shops.

Just moments from the amenities of Caterham-on-the-Hill and under a mile from Caterham station is this attractive five-bedroom Victorian home, which is full of character and offers bright and well-presented interiors which were redecorated in 2019, with a new kitchen installed in 2022. The décor complements the original features including stained glass windows, original fireplaces and coving whilst tall windows provide excellent natural light. From the front-facing rooms there are lovely views over the church opposite and to the rear the windows look out over the gardens.

With more than 2100 sq ft over three floors, this is a spacious and well laid-out home that is ideal for families, offering three reception rooms and five bedrooms. The ground floor includes a welcoming entrance hall leading to a cloakroom with WC, with a large sitting room overlooking the front of the house, a family room and a separate dining room opening to the garden. The kitchen has plenty of counter space and cupboard storage, plus a breakfast bar for informal meals. Adjoining this is a useful utility room with space for laundry machines. Upstairs there’s a principal bedroom with en suite bath/shower room, three further bedrooms and a family bath/shower room on the first floor, with a fifth bedroom on the second floor.
