Property description
This substantial Victorian house was built in the latter part of the 19th Century by the wealthy George Taylor as his own residence. In the 20th Century this mansion house was then converted into separate apartments, all of them with great stately proportions. Some of the current owners have confirmed that the property is steeped in history. If you would like to be part of Reigate's history then this magnificent penthouse may just be the perfect property for you.
The setting is fantastic as you glance out of every window you will see views over the communal gardens, fields and countryside beyond, which gives the impression of being deep within a village or countryside location, yet the M25 is on your doorstep which leads to all major conurbations.
Reigate town centre is also easily accessible with the mainline train station to London and excellent amenities including cafes, bars, restaurants, the renowned Priory Park and superb schools.
Once inside the apartment its large proportions create the impression of it being a house, with each of the rooms being really spacious. The property would be ideal for a multitude of buyers whether you are a professional couple, down-sizer, need a week day "bolt hole" or " lock up and leave" whilst you travel the world there is enough space and more to spread out into.
Outside there is a large sweeping gravel driveway providing communal parking for numerous cars as well as a garage.
What the Owner says:
This property has been an enchanting place to live. The space and the views won me over 12 years ago when I bought here and remain unchanged.
Living right by the Downs Way has kept me outdoors and fit with running, walking and mountain bike riding.
Summer nights are spent picnicking on the lawns and watching the wildlife.
Cosy winters have been enjoyed with open fires whilst overlooking a snow-covered garden.
I travel a great deal and getting about to airports and onto motorways quickly has been a great bonus.
This property is quite unique in many ways!
