5 bed detached house for sale

Landscape Road, Warlingham CR6

Tucked away on one of Warlingham’s most prestigious addresses, Altwood is a truly enchanting Arts and Crafts residence, built circa 1904 and steeped in timeless character. Rarely does a home of this stature come to market – and for good reason. Having been lovingly owned by the same family for over 35 years, this substantial property offers nearly 5,000 sq ft of versatile living space that effortlessly blends period charm with everyday practicality.

Step inside and be immediately taken by the grandeur of the entrance hall – a space that sets the tone with its high ceilings, mosaic flooring, and a palpable sense of history. From here, the home unfolds into a series of beautifully proportioned rooms – three elegant reception spaces, a dedicated home office, a characterful powder room, and a large utility room, all anchored by a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining room. Designed to be the heart of the home, this space is both stylish and functional, complete with a range cooker, a vast central island, and plenty of space for relaxed family meals or entertaining on a grander scale.

The sweeping staircase leads to a glorious landing where a captivating stained-glass window bathes the space in natural light and frames views over the garden. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms await, including a luxurious primary suite measuring approximately 18 feet with its own fireplace, private en suite, and a generous dressing room. A beautifully lit wet room adds a touch of spa-like elegance to the floor.

The top level offers two further bedrooms and an impressively large bathroom – the ideal retreat for older children, guests, or even a live-in au pair, providing them with a sense of independence and privacy.

Outside, Altwood continues to impress. Set on a wide and beautifully landscaped plot, the gardens are a private sanctuary, with mature trees, manicured planting, and ambient lighting that brings the outdoor space to life at dusk. A bespoke treehouse, hand-built by the owner, adds a magical touch, while the patio area invites evenings of al fresco dining and relaxed conversation under the stars.

A detached garage with space for two cars also houses a versatile games room and a separate annexe complete with its own private balcony – perfect for visiting family, a home studio, or potential Airbnb income (subject to permissions). With off-street parking for multiple vehicles and the added benefit of solar panels, the home marries heritage with thoughtful modernity.

Warlingham’s Golden Triangle is prized for its peaceful, leafy surroundings and its proximity to excellent transport links. Upper Warlingham and Whyteleafe South Stations are both under a mile away, offering swift access into London, while Gatwick Airport is just a 17-minute drive for international travel. Families will appreciate the wide choice of highly regarded state and independent schools nearby, and nature lovers will relish the surrounding countryside and woodland walks.

Altwood is more than a home – it’s a legacy property, rich in character and waiting for its next chapter. Whether you're seeking a forever family home or a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Warlingham’s heritage, Altwood delivers on every level.
