A perfectly placed family home with a superb barn style annexe set in 2 acres with an impressive gated driveway, a heated swimming pool and enjoying all the beauty of rural life yet not far from London.
This wonderful Grade II listed 5-bedroom family home and detached annexe are made for everyone and all seasons.
From the moment you step inside the front door, the architecture and beauty captivate you. The high ceilings and elegant sash windows of the Georgian wing give a feeling of light and space. They lead into the magnificent beamed rooms of the Tudor wing complete with three working fireplaces. The exquisitely renovated barn style annexe by the pool enjoys a vast reception room with beamed vaulted ceiling and amazing views.
This wonderful house offers so much choice on lifestyle, from working from home to teenage sleepovers, large gatherings in the garden to intimate dinner parties in the dining room, taking a little boat ride on the lake to walks in the country. In fact, this house will adapt with you as your needs change. With the countryside on your doorstep and horses in the fields at the end of the garden, you have the perfect place to unwind, in the winter in front of a roaring fire and in the summer by the pool.
When you ask the current owners what they love most about their home they will tell you about the strolls around the garden and lake, the glorious summers by the pool entertaining friends and family, watching the wonderful sunsets over fields and farmland, the starlit night skies and the space the house and land has given them all.
With Gatwick only 6 minutes' drive away where trains to London take half an hour, you can be at Victoria in no time or the south of France for lunch. The popular town of Reigate is a ten-minute drive, with a south London vibe of fabulous shopping, a great choice of cuisine and an Everyman cinema. The location is ideal for a family wanting rural life with a quick commute. We think it is the perfect home for your move to the country.
