Property description
Built in 1861 and formerly the Station Master's house, this period home has been extended to now provide plenty of space for family life. It is really convenient for both Whyteleafe & Upper Warlingham stations, so you can leave the car on the driveway and catch a train into London.
Situated in a tucked-away position, this unusual home is a real delight and, as you wander around inside, you will find numerous nooks and crannies that add to its character. Storage is key to any home and you will find an abundance of it here.
The open-plan lounge and dining areas are perfect for relaxing on the sofa or maybe hosting a dinner party for friends and family. With the connecting kitchen area, it makes preparing and cooking the meals just that bit easier, especially when serving up that amazing dinner!
The rear extension provides either an additional 4th bedroom or family room, as well as the bonus of an ensuite shower room to limit any queues in the morning. The upstairs bedrooms provide a choice for the family or visiting guests and there is a quirky study that can be found behind the bookcase on the landing, where you can escape to work in peace and quiet, or just catch up on the latest novel.
When the weather is warm, you can open up the French doors to the secluded courtyard garden to dine al-fresco, or just sit and unwind after a long day.
What the Owner says:
When we moved here over 28 years ago, we completely fell in love with the house and the location.
As the children were growing up we extended the home which give us the space we needed and let everyone have their own space.
The location has been brilliant for us, having the local school just around the corner when the children were younger and having easy access to the local shops and transport links. It is only a short drive to the M25 as well, making it easy for travelling down to the coast at the weekend.
