Set on over a third of an acre and backing directly onto Greenbelt countryside, this traditional four-bedroom detached home offers rare outdoor space and scope for extension (subject to usual planning consents). The west-facing garden is a standout feature — productive orchard, greenhouse, ponds, wildflower meadow, rainwater harvesting and direct access to miles of countryside for walking and family activities.
Inside the house are bright, well-proportioned rooms with oak flooring, a bay-windowed front reception room with limestone fireplace, a modern kitchen and a conservatory overlooking the garden. The principal bedroom includes an en suite; three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor. A sizeable two-room detached brick outbuilding (double garage with inspection pit and workshop) already has electricity and double glazing and could serve as a home office, gym or be incorporated into additional living space.
Practical details to note: the property dates from the 1950s–60s and, while well-presented in places, shows signs of general maintenance needs (ivy on the façade and some overgrowth). Double glazing install dates are unknown and other services may need updating. Any significant extension will require planning permission. Council tax is high. Transport links are strong — Chipstead Station is a ten-minute walk with direct services to London Bridge in around 44 minutes, and well-regarded schools and local amenities are close by.
This house will suit families seeking generous outdoor living, gardeners and buyers who value potential for extension and adaptation. For someone prepared to update and customise, it presents long-term scope and a rare plot in an affluent, low-crime neighbourhood.
