This semi-detached Victorian residence offers a blend of historical charm and thoughtful modern enhancements. Originally serving as B.L. Hester’s Sweet Shop in the mid-20th century, this property presents an opportunity for those looking to invest or further develop a family home. The south-facing front façade provides ample natural light to the spacious open-plan living areas, while the rear rooms offer a serene outlook that enhances privacy.
The main living area features elegant herringbone flooring complemented by a striking fireplace, which not only adds character but also serves as a central design feature. Stylish decorative panelling throughout showcases the home’s Victorian roots and impressive proportions. Additional storage solutions include well-designed understairs drawers and cupboards, as well as built-in floor-to-ceiling units that cleverly maximize space.
The kitchen is contemporary and functional, providing direct access to a low-maintenance courtyard, styled with durable light porcelain tiles for ease of upkeep. A green wall introduces year-round greenery, softening the aesthetic and enhancing views from the interior. Notable features include a remote-controlled electric shutter that conveniently transforms the courtyard into secure parking for larger vehicles.
Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms are bathed in light; both principal and secondary bedrooms come equipped with fitted wardrobes. The spacious family bathroom boasts separate bath and shower facilities, while warm natural wool carpets add an inviting touch across the upper level.
Although many updates have been made, there remains great potential for expansion—opportunities to extend into the loft space or utilize previously granted permissions for minor side extensions exist (pending planning approval). This flexibility makes it an attractive choice for buyers looking to personalize their investment.
Located on Holmesdale Road, residents enjoy access to local schools, convenient train links, and a bustling community atmosphere filled with families and long-standing neighbors alike. Reigate itself boasts a rich assortment of cafes, shops, and pubs alongside lovely parks and scenic countryside perfect for weekend excursions. With Reigate station just down the road providing quick connections to London and Gatwick, this location is both practical and appealing.
