Description

This charming 1920s detached house, originally built as a chauffeur's lodge, offers a unique opportunity for renovation and personalization. Nestled on a desirable residential road in Caterham, the property has been in the same family since 1957, showcasing its character and potential. The welcoming entrance hall features parquet flooring that hints at the home's heritage. The kitchen is equipped with matching wall and base units, providing a pleasant view over the courtyard, while the separate dining room benefits from a bay window. The spacious living room boasts a double aspect and a feature fireplace, with direct access to the garden. A family room adds valuable extra space, enhancing the home's versatility. The first floor accommodates six bedrooms, several with fitted wardrobes, and includes a bedroom with garden access, ideal for use as a guest room or home office. Although the property requires modernisation, it presents excellent scope for improvement and reconfiguration, subject to necessary consents. Outside, a five-bar gate opens to a driveway with ample parking and access to the integral garage. The well-established garden is a standout feature, with a paved patio perfect for outdoor dining and a lawn surrounded by mature trees and hedging, creating a private oasis. The different levels of the garden provide natural separation and add to its charm. Located just 0.4 miles from Caterham School and 1.3 miles from the town centre, this property offers both convenience and tranquility, making it an exceptional investment opportunity.
