5 bed detached house for sale

Woodland Way, Kingswood KT20

A beautifully preserved and meticulously upgraded 1920s Costain home, Bracken offers over 4,300 sq ft of elegant living across three floors, set within 0.7 acres of landscaped grounds in the heart of the prestigious Kingswood Estate.

The Kingswood we know and love today is a private Estate full to the brim with modern architecture and development; however, in amongst the new, proudly stand a stubborn handful of handsome original 1920’s Costain homes offering a reminder of the villages past. Bracken is a truly immaculate example of one of these last remaining original Kingswood houses, with 5 bedrooms spread across 4,386 sq.ft over 3 floors of classic yet modern finish with incredible attention to detail.

In every aspect of this beautiful home the sense of taste and elegance is overwhelming, and evident around every corner. The ground floor is a marriage of conventional spaces such as formal dining room, sitting room, large home office and cloakroom, and the more modern offering of an open plan kitchen / breakfast / living space with a neighbouring utility room. The finer details really give Bracken its edge; backlighting, hard oak flooring, Italian quartz worktops, Villeroy and Boch, Duravit and Hyperion fitted units are all examples of the exceptional specification on show.

Upstairs the main suite is every bit as impressive as you would expect, with a very generous central space offering fantastic views over the gardens, a large and recently fitted luxury en-suite, and not one but two dressing rooms! The larger of the dressing areas is full of beautiful bespoke cabinetry, all of which matches with the built in units throughout the rest of the property. Every other bedroom in the house is incredibly well thought-out, with ample storage, beautiful outlooks and stylish finishings. On the top floor is a further good sized bedroom and en-suite, but this one has a rather unexpected twist; A cinema room! The large space located off the top bedroom is long with a large flatscreen TV at one end and a big sofa unit at the other, offering the perfect spot to catch up on your favourite Netflix show!

Outside is where both the previous and current owners have really placed a stamp on the property, which is laid out over 0.7 of an Acre. The frontage is impressive to say the least; hiding behind tall herbaceous borders is an in & out drive with ample room for multiple vehicles, as well as a detached double garage to one side of the plot.

The owners have recently re-landscaped the rear garden, which features an expanse of modern limestone slab patio, bordered by a downlight render wall which complimented by feature planters, all framing and carving out various spaces for socialising in the glorious south facing sunshine; and if that`s not enough, the current owners have just last year added a further deck with sunken hot tub and plunge pool. The impressive sunken swim spa offers the perfect blend of relaxation and functionality. Thoughtfully designed with two independent sections a hot tub/jacuzzi and a plunge pool it caters to both leisurely soaks and invigorating swims. The pool features powerful jets that create a current for resistance swimming, ideal for fitness enthusiasts. Engineered for low maintenance, it requires just a simple weekly rinse of the filters and a chlorine tablet top-up. Thanks to its fully integrated design and high-quality insulation, the unit retains heat exceptionally well. Even in winter, the jacuzzi can remain comfortably warm while the plunge pool is set to a cooler temperature, all while maintaining efficient filtration and cleaning.

The surrounding decking, which beautifully mimics natural wood, is made from durable composite material ensuring it’s rot-proof, weather-resistant, and easy to care for. Hidden beneath the decking at each end are access panels leading to spacious compartments for servicing and repairs. A dedicated pump system also ensures any excess water is swiftly drained to the main outlet at the front of the property. The garden has been fitted with a state of the art lighting system, from the trim lighting around the patio, to up-lighters highlighting the impressive height of the mature trees standing proud on the properties border.

The village of Kingswood provides a reliable commuter line to London, as well as a number of local traders such as wine merchant, newsagent, beauty salon, Indian restaurant and of course the well known Kingswood Arms public house. There are two local golf courses to choose from, as well as a selection of Independent and State schools, all within easy reach. The villages of Banstead and Tadworth provide further facilities and shopping choice, whilst the main towns of Epsom and Reigate are easily accessible. The M25 motorway is reached at either junction 8 or 9, which are approximately equidistant between both Gatwick and Heathrow airports.

Needless to say I don’t believe words alone do Bracken justice, and as such I would whole heartedly implore you to give us a call and book an appointment with one of our sales team at your earliest convenience, so that you are able to fully appreciate the virtues of this beautiful home.
