Description
Little Garlands sits on an elevated position opposite Redhill Common, convenient for both Reigate and Redhill town centres. It was built by a master craftsman in the 1920’s and offers a wealth of architectural detail and character.
The current owners have lived here for nearly thirty years and Little Garlands now offers the potential for a new owner to put their mark on this fine character house.
Approached via steps from the drive, the spacious entrance hall has solid oak doors and charming architectural details including barley twist staircase balustrading and bespoke leaded lights.
The sitting room is dual aspect and has an elegant bow window with original handmade fixtures. The fireplace has been concealed but could be reinstated if desired. The dining room is a real arts and crafts gem with a period fireplace, coved ceiling, and oak leaded light windows.
The original conservatory opens to the main garden and leads to the library, a magnificent room with a large stone fireplace and fine views across the garden. The kitchen has a pantry, Corian worktops and an Aga. It leads to a utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and drier and a separate larder.
The back door opens to the garden and steps to the garage and workshops. A downstairs cloakroom and a coat cupboard complete the ground floor.
The galleried landing provides access to four bedrooms. The Jack and Jill family bathroom opens to the landing and to bedroom two. Bedrooms four and five have original oak mullion windows and pretty tiled fireplaces.
The landing leads to the principal bedroom, a dressing area, a WC, two bedrooms and a bathroom with quirky 1920s tiles. The principal bedroom has a feature fireplace with antique delft tiles and overlooks the garden via a charming bay window.
Little Garlands sits centrally in its secluded gardens and offers a range of mature planting with some fine specimen trees. Adjacent to the conservatory is a York stone terrace perfect for summer entertaining.
There is also a separate vegetable garden, a workshop with power and lighting and a lower bicycle store and wine cellar. The garage has power and lighting, and the drive provides additional parking for several cars.
