You’ve Always Dreamed Of Creating Your Perfect Period Property. Now those dreams can become reality with the biggest and best blank canvas you could ever find. This awe-inspiring Edwardian residence is ready for you to bring your vision to life.
Not seen on the market since 1979 - What an impressive property this is.
Set in three acres of mature grounds, this enormous six-bedroom family home is dripping in period charm. You’ll fall head over heels in love the moment you step inside.
It is in need of modernisation - but that gives you the unique opportunity to put your own stamp on the property and create a stunning blend of old and new.
The heart of a family home is surely the kitchen. This property has a spacious kitchen, along with a separate breakfast room, utility room and store.
Chances are one of your first priorities will be to update the kitchen & bring it up to a high quality, modern standard.
When doing so you may consider combining the kitchen, breakfast room and dining room. Doing so would create a breathtaking space, perfect for cooking, dining and socialising together as a family.
Combining the kitchen and dining room would still leave two reception rooms, an office and the conservatory overlooking the manicured lawn.
If the kitchen/dining room becomes the social hub of the house, the reception rooms and office give you the chance to relax or do some work in a quiet setting.
The first floor has five double bedrooms, a bathroom and two w/c’s. Two of the five bedrooms are particularly noteworthy; one simply due to its size and the other because of the spacious en-suite.
The bedrooms, bathrooms and en-suite will all require updating. But the en-suite in particular gives you the chance to create a luxurious master bedroom sanctuary to rival any spa.
There’s a further double bedroom with its own bathroom and kitchenette on the second floor. This could be ideal as guest accommodation or a home within a home for a teenager or older relative.
They say “It’s what’s inside that counts” but with this property, the exterior is just as impressive as the inside.
The well manicured lawn - billiard table flat & just crying out for a game of croquet - leads to mature woodland and down to a lake.
If you’ve longed for a way to get the kids off their devices then you’ll never get a better chance than by letting them safely run wild in the private 3 acres.
The property is practical too, with plenty of parking, three garages, two stables, three sheds and a workshop!
The detached double garage has self-contained living accommodation above. This includes a double bedroom with a balcony, a living room, bathroom and kitchen.
Again, this could be perfect for a teenager looking for independence or could be rented out long-term or for short stays via Airbnb.
There’s a great selection of independent schools in Reigate with the local primary & secondary schools all being rated either “Good” or “Outstanding” by Ofsted.
If you have under-5’s, Brambly House Montessori pre-school is literally next door.
The sought-after Rockshaw Road location is convenient for getting to Redhill and Reigate - both are less than 15 minutes away in the car.
Redhill has everything you need day-to-day (including Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury’s) however if you’re looking for a greater selection of high-end shops, restaurants and cafes you’d probably head into Reigate.
It’s also in a great location if you need to head into Central London for either work or pleasure. Fast, frequent trains from Redhill only take 35 minutes to Victoria or London Bridge.
Regular international travellers will appreciate being so close to the M23 & M25. It means Heathrow is only a 30-minute drive away and Gatwick is even closer.
This substantial Edwardian property won’t be for you if you’re looking for a move-in-ready family home.
But if you’re looking for a unique opportunity to put your own stamp on an awe-inspiring period property then you’ll never get a better chance to create an amazing dream home.
