Set on a wide, secluded plot in a quiet no-through road, this 1930 detached house combines authentic period character with considerable scope. High ceilings, polished wood floors, bay windows and original details give immediate charm, while large, mature gardens and an extended driveway provide privacy and practical outdoor space for family life or entertaining.
The house is offered chain free and within easy walking distance of Horley town centre and the train station, making it a strong choice for commuters. Internal accommodation includes three double bedrooms, a generous living room, a substantial kitchen and a long garden/lean-to room that opens onto the rear garden. Nearby schools and local amenities are well rated and accessible.
Practical realities: the property needs renovation and updating throughout, with older double glazing (pre-2002), assumed uninsulated cavity walls and an ageing heating system typical of its era. There is only one bathroom and council tax is described as quite expensive. There is also a medium flood risk for the area — buyers should verify insurance and drainage details.
For families seeking a long-term home to personalise, or buyers wanting a renovation or extension opportunity (subject to consents), this house offers a rare combination of plot size, location and period charm. Interested parties should arrange surveys and checks on planning potential, insulation, flood exposure and service condition before committing.
