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 Tamarisk Cottage on Whitehorse Drive.

Set within a South facing double width plot that totals 0.25 of an acre and enjoying an incredibly private 97ft x 57ft walled garden, The Personal Agent are especially proud to present this Grade II listed detached family home that dates back to 1770 and has been the subject of a comprehensive refurbishment program by our clients over the years.

Benefitting from flexible and bright accommodation of over 3800 sq ft in total, which includes numerous garden rooms, outbuildings and garaging, all of which bring an element of flexibility. The property was originally believed to be built as a dairy to serve the larger homes that were once around this area and has an interesting and rich history.

When you look at the house from the pavement you will see it appears to be sideways on to the present road, this is because originally this house faced the track which was used by people who were making their way from the High Street up to an area which is now locally known as the Wells Estate but was once the place of the famous Epsom salts which was incredibly popular in the Georgian era.

The first impressions of this home are truly wonderful, and when you walk down the driveway to the front door you will notice the large portico to the front which sets the tone for what's to come. If you look up you will see the castellation to the top, this conceals the hidden guttering which, from a construction point of view, was very advanced for its time, especially for a building of low status.

As you enter the hallway you will notice it is quite large, this is believed where the products were sold from and would have been a small shop, but it now enjoys a fantastic and bright feel to it and is the perfect space to welcome in guests.

The ground floor is truly flexible with a double aspect 23ft living room with wood burner, 26ft kitchen/dining room, garden room/conservatory with air conditioning, a further reception room that is currently being used as a fourth double bedroom, utility room with original flag stone floor and a downstairs cloakroom.

On the first floor there is a beautiful principal bedroom with lots of built-in wardrobes and a modern ensuite shower room, two further double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom.

The outside of this property also never fails to impress with a bold, south facing plot that provides so much privacy and seclusion that it is easy to forget you are so close to all of the practicalities that this location is renowned for.

The generous garden is home to a 19ft x 15ft detached summer house that enjoys its own built-in kitchenette and could be the ultimate den or man cave, two further detached garden workshops and a covered seating area. To the front is a large driveway with garage and double carport, which also enjoys a 26ft studio room above this area that provides even more flexibility.

Immediate inspection is required to fully appreciate this once in a generation opportunity to own this truly rare property and plot that not only enjoys a most practical location, but has also been modernised to a fine standard throughout.
