4 bed detached house for sale

Glebe Road, Merstham RH1

Tucked away in a peaceful semi-rural setting and backing onto open farmland, this exceptional four-bedroom detached home, built in 1901, offers a rare combination of character, space, and refined living. Set on a generous half-acre plot, this beautifully presented residence has been thoughtfully updated while retaining its timeless charm.

Step through the front door into a grand and spacious entrance hall, where a sweeping staircase sets an impressive tone. To the left, the formal living room runs from front to back, featuring a stunning bay window, French doors opening onto the rear patio, and a magnificent fireplace as the centrepiece. Custom built-in cabinetry frames the TV area, adding both style and functionality.

To the right of the hallway is a second reception room — a versatile space ideal as a snug, playroom, or home office. Toward the rear of the home, the dining room connects seamlessly into a beautifully appointed kitchen, complete with cream shaker-style cabinetry, stone worktops, and a central island. This space flows effortlessly into the show-stopping orangery, which serves as the heart of the home and main dining area, bathed in natural light and offering uninterrupted views across the private garden and fields beyond. A convenient downstairs WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, four generously sized double bedrooms await, all featuring built-in wardrobes. The dual-aspect master suite boasts an en suite bathroom and serene views. The additional bedrooms offer flexible space for family and guests, each thoughtfully designed with comfort in mind.

Outside, the gardens are a true sanctuary — lovingly landscaped to provide year-round beauty and ultimate privacy. A large patio directly off the house is perfect for entertaining, while a secondary entertaining space at the foot of the garden includes a built-in pizza oven and outdoor bar, all overlooking open countryside.

Completing this impressive home is a detached double garage with a self-contained annexe above — perfect for guests, a home studio, or further rental potential.

This is countryside living at its finest — blending traditional architecture, modern convenience, and inspirational outdoor space.
