3 bed detached house for sale

Fort Lane, Reigate RH2

Currently run as a highly successful cattery, the setting of this house really is utterly unique and fabulous! Situated on the North Downs Way, a few minutes walk from the Junction 8 coffee spot in one direction, with fabulous views to the south and ten minutes walk in the opposite direction, past Reigate Fort to breathtaking views and countryside at the Inglis memorial and beyond. Built in 1900, the property was originally two bungalows and would have housed the fort keeper and caretaker.

Set in an iconic and idyllic location on the North Downs Way, this detached family home offers adaptable & flexible accommodation, with annexe potential, beautiful garden, multiple outbuildings, garage and ample parking. With views over Reigate to the south and countryside to the north.

The property must be seen to be appreciated with several different rooms and spaces that may be utilised as desired.

The bespoke Oak front door gives access to a welcoming and spacious hallway, with door to a shower room with WC. A large reception room to one end of the property is the perfect room for Christmas, with a large fireplace and log burner creating a lovely focal point to the room, this room also enjoys a double aspect with doors into the rear garden and stairs leading to the first floor. There is further smaller but cosy sitting room walking back through to the kitchen. The kitchen is undoubtedly the hub of the home, a fantastic large room with an abundance of cubpoards and a large central island, the Aga keeps the room warm through the winter months in addition to heating the hot water. There is a further reception space to the other side of the kitchen (these could be combined to create a fantastic kitchen/sitting/dining room) and a large conservatory with two sets of double doors leading out into the garden. The remainder of the ground floor accommodation is currently set out a self contained annexe with a kitchen & shower for possible multi generational living, alternatively this could be incorporated into the main house accommodation quite easily.

Upstairs there are bedrooms to either end of the house - with a bathroom to each end and linked by two further rooms.

Outside the property has ample parking on the driveways, one of which provides access through to the cattery, the main driveway gives access to the garage as well as supplying parking for numerous vehicles.

The back garden is a delight and has been a labour of love by the current owner, clearly very green fingered! With different sitting areas, flower beds and borders, a fish pond and hot tub, all beautifully stocked with an abundance of plants and shrubs. To the bottom of the garden are numerous outbuildings, mainly all used for the cattery at the moment in addition to stables and store rooms.

The cattery is concealed at the end of the garden and was established in 1980 and is very successful. The current owners took it over in 2000 and it could easily be continued as such, if someone wishes to run a business from home.
