Property description
If you are looking for Edwardian splendour in a quiet secluded position, with one of the best views in Surrey and almost 2600 sq ft of living space, then this substantial home will fulfil your criteria perfectly.
Mount Hill dates back to 1906 and was originally a large family house owned by the Duke of Wellington's son. In the 1950's the property was split into four separate units with this being one of the largest, occupying one wing of the building. It has undergone a programme of refurbishment, including a re-fitted, chalon-style kitchen, bathrooms, French doors and windows, whilst retaining many original features such as fireplaces, cast iron radiators and cornicing etc.
One of the main features is that most windows overlook the large garden and benefit from stunning elevated views towards Leith Hill and Dorking.
Each room is very spacious making the property great for entertaining. There is also potential to convert part of the ground floor into a separate annexe.
The garden is 0.927 acres with a large full-width terrace, plenty of parking and three garages.
Although semi-rural, it is a short car journey to Banstead, Reigate and Merstham stations plus within some of Surrey's most beautiful countryside. The house is close to Kingswood Primary School and equidistant to Walton-on-the-Hill, Tadworth, Bramley and Chinthurst Primary schools. Buses go from Lower Kingswood to Dorking, Banstead and Reigate Secondary schools.
What the Owner says:
From the moment we saw this property we fell in love with it! We have spent many an evening on the terrace enjoying a "Sundowner" and one of the best views in Surrey. Not only is it a fantastic party house with large reception rooms and the opportunity of spilling out on to the patio, but also a great place to bring up children in the great outdoors. The house is on the North Downs Way with spectacular walks as soon as you leave the front gate. We'll be desperately sad to leave but are now ready for our next project!
