Summary - 17 Rochester Gardens, Town End Close, Caterham, Surrey CR3 5UJ
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Chain-free five-bedroom family home with garden and extension potential STPP.
Edwardian detached house built in 1903, full of original character
A rare Edwardian detached family home in Caterham on the Hill, offered chain free and rich in original character. Built in 1903, the house has high ceilings, large windows and four reception rooms, including a room with a log burner and others with period fireplaces that create a warm, inviting feel. The large, landscaped garden provides a private outdoor retreat and direct access from one reception room.
Practical family benefits include five bedrooms across generous first-floor accommodation, off-street parking for three cars and excellent local schools within the catchment. The property is well placed for local shops, pubs, Caterham town centre and the train station, making daily commuting and family life straightforward.
There is clear potential to add value: the kitchen could be extended into a large open-plan family space, and loft or lateral extensions are possible subject to planning permission (STPP). There is also scope to create additional front parking (STPP).
Notable negatives are presented plainly: the house will suit buyers willing to modernise parts of the home to contemporary standards, and any extension or parking changes will require planning permission. Local crime levels are above average and council tax is higher than typical, which should be factored into running costs.
