Constructed in 1909, this Edwardian residence known as Forest Lodge stands as one of the original homes on the private Kingswood Estate. Its historical charm is complemented by a rich character that has endured through only two owners over the past six decades. The property is accessed via an extended gravel driveway, providing ample parking space. Surrounded by serene gardens, it features a prominent formal lawn and well-maintained borders, ideal for gardening enthusiasts or for those looking to enhance outdoor spaces further.
A unique asset of this property is the detached one-bedroom coach house, accessible from a private road and equipped with its own parking. This space presents numerous possibilities as guest accommodation or potential rental income, contingent upon acquiring the necessary planning permissions.
Inside, the spacious entrance hall opens to three generously sized reception rooms, each featuring fireplaces and direct access to an expansive south-west facing terrace that overlooks the gardens. The contemporary kitchen-breakfast room is fitted with integrated appliances and is accompanied by a utility room for added convenience.
The first floor boasts an elegant master suite with garden views alongside sizable guest bedrooms equipped with built-in wardrobes. A family bathroom and separate WC provide practical amenities on this level. Ascending to the second floor reveals a large double bedroom complete with an en-suite shower room, as well as ample storage rooms that offer exciting potential for conversion into additional living space.
The beautifully landscaped grounds include a spacious south-west facing lawn adorned with lush borders and a wisteria-clad balcony serving as an inviting outdoor retreat.
In close proximity to Kingswood village’s amenities—including shops, restaurants, and well-regarded schools—this property benefits from excellent transport links via nearby train stations and major roadways leading into London. Overall, Forest Lodge not only offers a remarkable home but also presents significant investment potential through renovation and expansion opportunities within both the main house and the coach house.
