4 bed detached house for sale

Whyteleafe Road, Caterham CR3

For the first time in over forty years, this cherished family home comes to market, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in one of the area’s most sought-after settings. Built in the 1930s and set on just under a quarter-acre plot, this handsome detached residence stands proudly opposite the leafy Hill Grove Green, presenting a picturesque outlook that immediately sets the tone.

Arriving at the property, you’re welcomed by a sweeping driveway with ample space for multiple vehicles, leading to a home that sits elegantly back from the road – giving both presence and privacy. Inside, the spacious entrance hall makes a warm first impression. To your left, an all important cloak room. To the right, the formal reception room is bathed in natural light from its large bay window, creating the perfect space to unwind or entertain. Shutter doors open into the dining room, which flows seamlessly into a charming conservatory – a wonderful spot to enjoy the changing seasons year-round.

The kitchen-diner, fitted less than a decade ago, combines practicality with modern design. Generous storage and workspace are paired with delightful views over the rear garden, while an adjoining lean-to/utility room provides further convenience.

Step outside, and you’ll discover one of the property’s most remarkable features: A magnificent 170-foot garden. Mature trees border this expansive space, wrapping it in privacy and tranquillity while offering endless scope for landscaping and outdoor living. It’s a haven for families, gardeners, or anyone who dreams of creating their own slice of paradise.

Upstairs, a broad landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms, each enjoying views of either the green or the rear gardens. The principal bedroom is accompanied by its own en suite, while the remaining rooms are served by a family bathroom. Bedrooms one and two benefit from fitted wardrobes. The loft, spacious and versatile, offers exciting potential for conversion into a fifth bedroom suite, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

With a garage to the side, the house also benefits from its enviable location. Three nearby stations provide swift connections into London, making it an ideal choice for commuters who don’t want to compromise on space or lifestyle. A selection of great schooling options are near by, along with several local supermarkets, shops, cafes and restaurants. Locally, is Queens Park, a beautiful place for a Sunday stroll, game of bowels or tennis and even an on site café for a quick refuel.

Being close to the M23 and M25 means you’re superbly positioned for both local and long-distance travel. The M23 links directly to Gatwick Airport and London, making commuting and international travel straightforward, while the M25 provides access around London and connects to major routes across the South East.

Having been lovingly owned by the same family since 1983, this home is now ready to begin a new chapter. With its generous proportions, outstanding garden, and wealth of potential, it offers the chance to create a forever home in a truly special location
