Description:


This imposing detached residence is an important property locally having appeared in the Houses of Caterham under its former name ‘Briars Mount’.

Dating from 1877 the property has been carefully renovated and improved by the current owners so that it retains many original features and much of its original grandeur and charm. The majority of the windows are refurbished sash windows, many of the rooms boast feature fireplaces and beautiful high ceilings with impressive Victorian cornice plaster work.

From an elevated terraced area at the front of the house an original part glazed front door with stained glass panels leads into an impressive split level entrance hall. A spacious triple aspect sitting room looks out over the gardens and is warmed by an open fireplace and the equally impressive dining room also looks out over the extensive grounds to the front. A more informal third reception room is currently used as a snug/playroom.

The modern kitchen, which was fitted approximately 4 years ago, boasts a range of eye and base level units with granite worktops and integrated Electrolux appliances and Franke sink. There is a separate utility room and a cloakroom.

To the first floor the current master suite incorporates 3 of the original bedrooms which are now arranged as a large double bedroom with views to the front, a dressing room and luxurious en suite bathroom with his and hers sinks, walk in shower and claw and ball roll top bath. A guest suite to the rear of the property enjoys an en suite shower room whilst the family bathroom offers a modern white 4 piece suite with walk in shower. There are 2 further double bedrooms on this floor.

To the second floor there is a large double bedroom and further shower room. Another double bedroom/office leads through to a smaller room which provides access to the modern heating system.

Outside

With a total plot size of approximately 0.75 acres the property sits well back from the road in an elevated position. A long tarmac drive leads up to a spacious double garage and parking area. To the front of the house is a level lawned area and immediately outside is a raised patio area. This attractive recent addition was added by the current owners and provides easy access into the house. The sloping rear garden is walled on 2 sides and leads up from a patio area to a lawn and assortment of young fruit trees.
