About this property

A beautifully appointed and fantastically spacious family home less than a mile from Kenley station, with mature landscaped gardens

Situated in one of Kenley’s most desirable roads, a peaceful, leafy lane a short distance from amenities, is this characterful 1950s home, extended and renovated to a very high standard throughout. The property is generously proportioned with five double bedrooms offering ample space for growing families, and three good-size reception rooms plus a bright and airy open plan kitchen – it serves as the heart of the family home and is the ideal spot for entertaining. Internally the property is immaculately presented, having been fully refurbished in 2020, with highlights including new carpets, engineered walnut floors and a stylish and contemporary kitchen.
A welcoming entrance hall provides a great first impression, leading to a formal sitting room with a big bay window, a family room and a study. The L-shaped kitchen incorporates a sitting and dining area and is a very large and light-filled room with two sets of bifold doors opening to the garden, a generous central island, has Siemens appliances throughout, and an adjoining utility room. There’s also a shower room and WC on the ground floor, and a detached garden office which is the perfect distraction-free setting for working from home.
Upstairs, a very spacious, bright and airy landing accesses the bedrooms: an en suite principal bedroom with impressive high vaulted ceiling, built-in wardrobes, and French doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the rear garden; a further bedroom with en suite that would make a great guest bedroom, or for older children; and three further double bedrooms, plus a family bathroom.

Outside
The distinctive home is set back from the road behind a mature front garden, with plenty of off-street parking available on a private driveway with parking for at least 5 cars, and space for two in the car port which has an electric car charging point. The rear garden is equally attractive and an excellent size, at approximately 0.295 acres. It’s landscaped to include mature trees and shrubs, flowerbeds all around the boundary and a large terrace for outdoor dining. Behind the detached office – which could also be used as a summerhouse, studio or gym – there is a vegetable garden with raised planters.

Situation
Abbots Lane is a quiet, leafy residential road less than a mile from local shops and amenities at Kenley. Further high street shopping can be found in Caterham Valley including The Village development (Tesco) and both Waitrose and Morrisons supermarkets. Open countryside is within easy reach, with Coulsdon Common and Riddlesdown a short distance away. The motorway network is easily accessible at junction 6 of the M25. Schooling options include Caterham School, De Stafford and The Hayes Primary School.
