The Edwardian front door, framed by a traditional porch, sets the tone for the home within: welcoming, characterful, and gently sophisticated. Inside, a traditional entrance hall rises upwards, the character staircase drawing the eye to lofty ceilings and spaces that breathe. The front reception, anchored by a deep bay window, is washed in natural light, its oak floors, picture rail and exposed brick fireplace with log burner creating a room equally suited to quiet evenings or convivial gatherings. A second reception, with dual-aspect views and exposed floorboards, takes on a lighter, more relaxed tone — a space that shifts seamlessly between uses.
At the rear, the kitchen reveals a striking scandi-inspired scheme, where sleek cabinetry, oak worktops and handcrafted zellige tiles play against garden views and access to a raised deck for al fresco suppers. The private garden extends like an outdoor room, designed with both family life and entertaining in mind. A modern cladded fence and traditional walled boundary create a sense of enclosure, softened by mature planting. The raised deck invites late summer evenings of barbecues and friends, while the lawn lends itself to play and leisure.
Upstairs, the sense of calm continues, with three double bedrooms. On the first floor, two retain their original Victorian fireplaces, while the bathroom has been elevated into a retreat, its claw-foot bathtub, painted wood floor and chrome fittings offering a touch of spa-like indulgence. The loft conversion delivers a generous third double bedroom, complete with picture window framing far-reaching views across Reigate Hill, alongside extensive eaves storage.
