A spacious, well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached home set on a large plot with a quiet, woodland-backed garden. The rear extension creates an open-plan kitchen/dining/lounge hub that suits family life and everyday entertaining. Two double bedrooms and a single bedroom are served by a single family bathroom. The property is offered chain free for a straightforward move.
The rear garden is a standout feature, bordering woodland that stretches toward Caterham Viewpoint. A patio, lawn and a substantial log cabin provide flexible outdoor living and a ready-made home office or playroom. Driveway parking and a detached garage add practical convenience for families with vehicles.
There is clear potential to extend the house in several ways, subject to planning, increasing living space or adding another bathroom. The house dates from the early 20th century with solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and double glazing of unknown installation date. The EPC rating is D and the property uses mains gas boiler heating — upgrade and insulation work could improve comfort and running costs.
Location suits families: highly regarded independent and state schools are nearby, Caterham town centre amenities and transport links are close, and countryside is within easy reach. Note that council tax is above average for the area and the property may need energy-efficiency improvements and modernisation depending on buyer expectations.
