5 bedroom semi-detached house for sale
Key information
Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
An extensive and well-appointed family home with tremendous character throughout.
Certainly one of Kingswood’s earliest homes, this impressive country house was built around 1860 and it is believed that it replaced the much older Copt Hill Farm. The remains of the farm’s old flint walls, its original forge and well have been discovered.
Soon after World War II, the house was divided into two equally substantial wings and The Grey House retains some of the grand principal rooms with 12’ ceilings. In more recent years, the house has been refurbished to create a family home of almost 5,000 sq ft. This includes the former forge, now refurbished and converted to a detached annexe studio or an excellent office with its pretty flagstone terrace, perfectly located away from the bustle of the modern world.
The property also features an extensive cellar, four living rooms and a Smallbone fitted kitchen with ample space for family dining. There are five double bedrooms, the principal with a luxury period-style ensuite, as well as a family bathroom on the first floor.
The gardens are secluded and offer plenty of spaces to enjoy the semi-rural tranquillity.
This property enjoys privacy at the end of a long shared driveway from Copt Hill Lane, on the edge of open countryside.
Kingswood Village is within walking distance and offers commuter rail services to London, local shopping and the Kingswood Arms gastro-pub. For more diverse shopping and supermarkets, Reigate, Epsom and Banstead Village are all within a few minutes' drive. Nearby, the A217 provides an arterial route to London and, within a few minutes, the M25 motorway at Reigate Hill (J8) giving swift access to Heathrow and Gatwick Airports in some 45 and 25 minutes respectively.
Some of Surrey's finest schools are available locally including City of London Freeman’s, Whitgift, Epsom College, Dunnotar, Reigate Grammar, Banstead Prep and Aberdour and several other schools have their own buses frequenting the area.
Almost every conceivable sport, leisure and cultural pursuit is catered for nearby including Kingswood's two golf clubs and tennis club as well as abundant open countryside for riding, cycling and walks.
