This beautiful Victorian house with views to the Surrey Hills dates back to the 1850's and is the former lodge to the renowned "Mynthurst Estate". Approached via magnificent wrought iron gates this splendid house benefits from a host of original features including stone mullion windows and half timber facade on the first floor. It has been lovingly maintained and refurbished to a very high standard, whilst retaining many character features including Minton tile floors in the porch, entrance hall and cloakroom, parquet floor and inglenook fireplace in the sitting room and fireplaces to several rooms.
The accommodation in the main house can only be described as magnificent. Providing enough space for a large and growing family to spread out into. There is a large heated conservatory which has private views over the established gardens and is used as the main sitting room by the current owners. An added bonus is the detached studio which would be ideal for a nanny, granny or lodger, it could also be used as an office or gym.
The grounds, which amount to 2.842 acres* are very private with parking for up to seven cars as well as having two garages.
The position is great, situated a short drive away from Reigate and Dorking town centres, both with mainline train stations, excellent schools, Priory Park and Colley Hill in Reigate and Box Hill, Polesdean Lacey and Denbies Vineyard in Dorking along with footpaths and bridleways through the lovely Surrey Hills. There are also excellent pubs and bistros nearby. Only a short car journey away is the M25 and Gatwick Airport.
What the Owner says:
We fell in love with this property from the moment we saw it, and we've now had thirteen very happy years here.
It's a fantastic family home on the outskirts of the village, with bags of character and a very flexible layout which also makes it great for entertaining. We've made a number of improvements over the years which we think enhance the character of the property.
* Please note there is an additional paddock of 2.197 acres in size available by separate negotiation. Please contact our office for further information.
