Often the words "rare" and "gem" are thrown around quite casually when writing property descriptions, but never have they been more fitting than in the context of Uplands, on Ebbisham lane. This grand 1920s family home sits proudly on the edge of the hill from which "Walton on the Hill" gets it's name, and is rewarded with breath-taking views over the valley, reaching as far as Epsom grandstand, West London and beyond.

As entrance halls go, this one is pretty special, past the front door and cloakroom you're met by a crackling fire in a log burning stove nestled within the signature 1920s style fireplace, which paired with the original hardwood staircase makes for quite a first impression.

The kitchen is a very large, sleek and modern space, located in a recent extension to the building, with Bi-folding doors running down the left hand side of the room, deliberately positioned to take advantage of the stunning outlooks. Large white gloss tiles, custom shaker style units, black granite worktops and an overall modern feel contrast beautifully with the impressive triple AGA. Down a small staircase off the kitchen is the utility, featuring everything you would expect from such a space. The living room really is a feast for the senses, great big picture windows stand tall on two aspects, providing light and yet further angles of the famous view; the fireplace boasts yet another log burning stove, around which is plenty of room for a three piece suite. The next reception room benefits from the same high ceilings and large windows, and would suit use as a library, snug, or whatever suited your way of life. The remaining ground floor rooms, the study and the internally accessed garage both tick practical search criteria boxes.

Upstairs the main bedroom is part of the extension, and has bi-folding doors leading to a small terrace looking out over the valley. The room itself is a good size, and features both a dressing room and an en-suite, within which is a window which according to the owner boasts the best views in the house, framing Epsom Grand Stand as if it was an ever changing oil painting. Bedroom two, three and four are all south-west facing and all doubles. The fifth bedroom looks over the valley, and there is both a family bathroom and a shower room off the main landing.

Outside the house sits behind private gates on Ebbisham Lane on a 0.8 Acre plot; with a plethora of outbuildings including detached double garage, carport, garden shed and even a garden studio / bar, but I'll get to that in a minute! The front drive is brick built, and elevated from the house and garden. The rear garden has a terraced patio that sits level with the full width of the house and is a fantastic spot for entertaining . The rest of the back garden is a large lawn, that gently runs downhill, with a selection of fruit and mature trees complementing their surroundings. Perhaps the star of the back garden (bar the view of course) is the studio, kitted out as a fully functioning bar, with a top hinged window and cedar cladding (booze not included!!)

Uplands is located on Ebbisham lane, on the boundaries between Walton on the Hill and Headley. Walton on the Hill is situated on the North Downs, just a short distance from the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural beauty. The village, which has a wide selection of pubs, restaurants and independent traders, is also close to the picture-postcard market towns of Dorking and Leatherhead, as well as being a short distance from Redhill and Reigate - both great places to shop, eat and be entertained. Your new home is in one of England's most beautiful settings. Surrounded by enchanting green spaces, it can be hard to believe that you are within easy reach of London and the excitement of the city.

I could talk about Uplands and it's strengths endlessly, but I genuinely feel like this is the kind of home you need to see to believe. To arrange a viewings, or to answer any further questions you may have, please do contact our sales team on[use Contact Agent Button].
