Character home with large private gardens and versatile outbuilding.
No onward chain; freehold period semi‑detached cottage
Dating from 1850, this semi‑detached period cottage sits on a rare 0.51‑acre plot under a mile from Reigate High Street and station. The house offers three bedrooms over three floors, a tanked basement currently used as a playroom, and a substantial detached wood-built outbuilding with heating and water — ideal as a guest space, home office or outdoor kitchen.
Well maintained by the current owners, the home benefits from sympathetic character details: a wood‑burning stove, built‑in wardrobes, hardwood floors and triple‑glazed windows. The garden is a standout feature — privately treelined with woodland, extensive lawn and a sheltered paved seating area with a Mediterranean feel in summer.
Practical points are straightforward: the property is freehold, chain free, mains gas‑heated with a boiler and radiators, and shows good mobile signal. The house sits in an affluent area with easy access to several highly rated schools and local amenities, making it well suited to families seeking character close to town.
Buyers should note the age and construction: solid brick walls as built (likely without modern cavity insulation) and period fabric that may need sympathetic updating. There is a single family bathroom and some rooms are modest in scale, so those seeking fully modern open‑plan living or multiple shower rooms should allow for adaption works.
