Set within delightful grounds measuring just under half an acre is this wonderful period property, dating back to the early 1800’s and available to the market for the first time in 46 years. The property offers a wealth of character combined with spacious accommodation that has been well cared for by the present owner. Reeves Rest Lodge is an attractive and detached four-bedroom period home surrounded by beautiful countryside and offering lovely views across paddocks and fields. There is also an outdoor heated swimming pool and a variety of period features including original fireplaces, bay windows, oak doors and Yorkshire sash windows to name just a few.

To the ground floor the entrance hall leads to the double aspect sitting room with a fabulous brick fireplace, the conservatory is just off the sitting room and leads to a family room, a ground floor bedroom and a shower room. There is a lovely formal dining room and a large open-plan kitchen/breakfast room with a range of solid wood cupboards and an Aga. The study is accessed via a separate staircase from the family room. To the first floor there are three bedrooms, two with fitted wardrobes, a family bathroom and a modest open library area with stunning views over the garden and countryside.

Outside there are three garden areas, the main garden with stunning views over rolling countryside and mostly laid to lawn with a large sun terrace, a heated swimming pool, a large pond and a lovely garden room/home office. A set of double gates lead to the front driveway with access to the tandem length garage which is also accessible from the garden. The other two garden areas are to the side of the property, with manicured boundary hedging offering seclusion and privacy. There is a greenhouse and a brick built garden workshop. Although the cottage is set within a countryside setting, this home is on mains drainage. A property tour is highly recommended to appreciate what Reeves Rest Lodge has to offer.

Chipstead is an attractive, historic village lying on the top of the North Downs, just south of London and perfectly situated for access to the M25, the M23, Gatwick Airport, Heathrow Airport, and Central London.

Chipstead retains a rural charm with its picturesque duck pond, local pubs and selection of period cottages and converted farms. An active golf course as well as clubs for cricket, football, rugby, bowls, tennis and even a theatre make this a special community. There is a good choice of state / independent schools locally as well as access to larger towns such as Reigate, Banstead, Epsom or Coulsdon.
