This elegant five-bedroom detached home blends Tudor Revival character with high-end contemporary living across approximately 2,769 sq ft. The ground floor offers expansive, light-filled living: a dramatic sitting room with air conditioning and French doors, a family room with a bay window, a dedicated study and a superior Poggenpohl kitchen with Miele appliances and a vaulted dining area. Practical spaces include a utility, cloakroom and ample off-street parking on a sweeping driveway.
Upstairs the principal suite features a dressing room and a large en suite with a Jacuzzi bath and steam shower; a second bedroom also has an en suite, plus three further double bedrooms and a luxury family bathroom. Comfort features include underfloor heating, radiators and double glazing installed after 2002. The mature, very large plot has established lawns, a patio for al fresco dining, a children’s play area and generous privacy from tall trees.
Location suits families and professionals: good local schools, fast trains to London Victoria and Bridge, easy M25 access and close proximity to shops and countryside walks in the Surrey Hills. The property is freehold and in a very affluent area with low crime and fast broadband.
Buyers should note some practical considerations: the house was built in the 1930s–1940s and cavity walls are assumed to lack added insulation, which may affect energy efficiency. Council tax is in a high band and ongoing maintenance of a period property and large grounds should be factored into budgets.
