This property is a spacious and stunningly appointed Victorian family home of great character, centrally situated within the popular village of Chipstead. The current vendors carried out a complete renovation and a significant extension in 2019 to create light, versatile and beautifully presented accommodation.

Salient points include multi-pane windows and window shutters, exposed ceiling timbers, radiator covers, an attractive open fireplace, a striking vaulted ceiling with skylights, a superb kitchen by Rencraft and stylish bathroom suites. Of further note is the attractive landscaped rear garden which has been designed by a Chelsea Flower Show Gold medal winner and ample off-road parking, together with the property’s excellent location to the local primary schools, both being within approx. 0.6 miles by footpath.
The elegant, well-proportioned sitting room has a double aspect and features a large square bay window, exposed ceiling timbers and an attractive open fireplace. A striking glass balustrade separates this room from the kitchen, allowing light to flood both rooms and creating an excellent split level lay out for informal entertaining.
