Set within a peaceful semi-rural landscape, this picturesque red-brick semi-detached home is fronted by a traditional white dormer porch and framed by rose birches that hint at the romance within. The sash windows and charming double-fronted façade evoke a sense of timeless character, while a generous private driveway and a neat front lawn complete the welcoming arrival. Step inside and you’re embraced by warmth and whimsy. The interiors are thoughtfully styled with textured woven carpets, rich tones, and layered lighting that dances through every room.
The sitting room offers a true country escape, centred around a vibrant tiled fireplace with an ornate painted mantel, ideal for winter evenings. Flowing into the open plan kitchen and dining room, reclaimed floors stretch beneath a playful colour palette and an open brick fireplace that anchors the space. The shaker kitchen, painted in deep, romantic hues with a dark stone worktop, is punctuated by chrome appliances and brass hardware, echoing the luxurious yet relaxed style found in the famed Pig Hotels.
From here, a conservatory offers additional space and colour-drenched windows open to a truly enchanting garden. Lovingly landscaped with a professional’s eye, it bursts with whites, pinks and purples. Pathways weave through the blooms, leading to a family-friendly lawn and a secluded rear section with a vegetable patch and peaceful seating area overlooking a privately owned field, home to three gentle donkeys that will charm children and grown-ups alike.
Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms unfold from a central stairwell. The two front-facing doubles feature original cast-iron fireplaces painted in serene, heritage tones, while the two rear bedrooms offer peaceful views across the garden, perfect for children, a nursery or home office. The bathroom and cloakroom offer character and quality in equal measure, with Burlington sanitaryware, handmade zellige tiles, and a palette of deep neutrals that nod to the home’s Edwardian roots.
Life at Glen Rosa is about slow mornings and long walks, countryside views and barefoot summers in the garden, where nature, comfort, and design meet in perfect harmony.Life in Headley unfolds with a gentle, romantic rhythm that feels a world away from the bustle, yet remains perfectly connected.
The location
Nestled on the leafy slopes of the North Downs, just moments from the open landscapes of Box Hill, this hidden corner of Surrey is a sanctuary for those seeking tranquillity, nature, and a true sense of countryside living. Surrounded by ancient woodlands and rolling farmland, Tot Hill meanders through some of Surrey’s most scenic countryside. Footpaths and bridleways peel off in all directions, offering everything from meandering dog walks to invigorating hikes with panoramic views. Just a short stroll from the house lies Headley Heath — a stunning National Trust landscape of open heathland, woods and wildflower meadows. It’s a favourite spot for the current owners, who love walking there daily to enjoy the ever-changing scenery and peaceful atmosphere.
Headley village has a warm community feel, and its charming church, village store and traditional pub are only a short walk away, while the nearby villages of Betchworth and Brockham offer quintessential English life with pretty village greens, local pubs, and seasonal events that bring neighbours together. The historic market town of Dorking provides artisan shops, antiques, cafés, and a thriving food scene. And for those with a taste for the finer things, Denbies Wine Estate, England’s largest vineyard, is within easy reach. Also on Headley's doorstep is the village of Ashtead, which offers fast rail links into London Waterloo (45 minutes) and London Victoria (55 minutes).
