Description
Adjacent to Redhill Common, close to excellent schooling and enjoying a fabulous position within a sought-after private road, a fine, spacious family home, presented with great style and set within colourful, southwest backing landscaped gardens
In a favoured position within all that the vibrant town of Reigate has to offer and situated on a sought-after private road, a detached house of quality, set amongst mature, landscaped gardens. Believed to have originally been formed from what had been the coach house and stables to the Dunotter Estate, the property was subsequently converted and extended to become a family home. Under the skilful guidance of the present owners and their London based architect, the house underwent a complete transformation, imaginatively bringing together the stables and coach house to create a spacious family home presented with great style and character. Exteriors are a marvellous mix of old and new with mellow red brick, pitched tiled roof lines, handsome chimneys, leaded light windows, floor to ceiling glazing, roof terraces and a covered balcony. Extending to over 4,500 square feet (excluding covered parking), the accommodation is laid out over two floors. Internally retaining features of the early twentieth century conversion such as oak stripped or herringbone flooring and an imposing oak staircase, a glazed link connects through to the newer section where the sociable living space has large windows and sliding doors, taking advantage of the southerly orientation and thereby allowing for maximum natural light penetration and perfectly framing the outlook over the gardens. Approached via a large, bright hall with tiled flooring, reception areas arranged on the ground floor are excellent and varied, from the more formal drawing room with its feature open fire and the sitting room/study with a gas fire - to the fabulous, semi open plan family living areas. The kitchen/breakfast room is comprehensively furnished with a range of sleek, high gloss wall and floor cabinetry along with a central island, with black granite work surfaces and integrated appliances by Neff and Siemens. Arranged over the upper level are six bedrooms. The principal suite is a sumptuous space that has a dressing area, en-suite bathroom with separate shower cabinet and French doors opening out to a covered, private balcony. Two further double bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities are accessed off the main landing together with a fourth double bedroom. With private access via a staircase from the living space, an additional two, double bedroom suites each have en-suite bathrooms and study areas as well as access to the roof terrace.
Outside
Extending to just over an acre, the secluded gardens surround the property and are a fabulous feature having been expertly laid out by award winning landscape designers, Acres Wild to provide mature planting of textural greens and whites with splashes of colour for year-round interest. Sweeping well-tended lawns are peppered with some magnificent trees, whilst there are a large number of shrubs and specimen plants. Stone terracing adjoins the rear and overlooks a fine water feature. To the front there are two gated entrances, each opening on to parking areas, one of which adjoins the double car port and there is a garden store.
Situation
Nestling at the foot of the North Downs, Reigate is an historic market town, where the 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 town is less than 1.5 miles away, yet the house is immediately adjacent to the lovely Redhill Common. Reigate Heath is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is a local Nature Reserve, whilst the delightful 18th century Priory Park has undergone regeneration over the last few years with lakes, café and children’s adventure playground. For commuter access to London, stations at Reigate (1.4 miles) or Redhill (approximately 1 mile) provide direct services to London Bridge and London Victoria. The national motorway network can be accessed at Junction 8 of the M25 and Gatwick airport is only 20 minutes by car.
There is an excellent range of schooling in the area at both primary and secondary levels, in the state and private sectors including Mickelfield, Holmesdale, The Priory, Dunottar School, St Mary’s, the Royal Alexandra and Albert School, Reigate Grammar School and Caterham School.
