Set within the private 60-acre grounds of Ashtead Park, this five-bedroom detached home offers classic 1920s character and generous family living across approximately 3,220 sqft. The property sits on a large 0.42-acre plot with a sweeping lawn, paved entertaining terrace and a large summerhouse — ideal for outdoor family life and entertaining.
Arranged over two floors, the layout includes a formal sitting/dining room with feature fireplace, a separate reception/office, kitchen with adjacent utility, and guest cloakroom on the ground floor. Upstairs is a principal bedroom with en-suite, three further bedrooms, a family bathroom and an additional shower room, plus scope to reconfigure or extend (subject to planning consent) to create more contemporary living.
Practical benefits include a carriage driveway, integrated garage, double glazing fitted after 2002, mains gas central heating and excellent transport links — a short walk to the mainline station and directly opposite City of London Freemen’s School. The property is offered chain free and has been in the same family since 1972, presenting a rare purchase opportunity in a very affluent area with outstanding nearby schools.
Buyers should note the house’s period construction (solid brick, assumed no cavity insulation) and an EPC rating of D; upgrading insulation and modernising services will likely be required to improve energy efficiency and reduce running costs. Council tax is very expensive. The setting and plot size deliver strong potential for extension or refurbishment for those seeking a long-term family home.
