Rye Field, Ashtead KT21

Tucked away in a peaceful private cul de sac off Ashtead Woods Road, this impeccable detached family home offers more than just beautifully presented living space....it offers a lifestyle shaped by open skies, nature, and endless outdoor possibilities.

With uninterrupted views across Rye Meadows and the sweeping ancient woodland of Ashtead Common, the property sits on the edge of one of Surrey’s most enchanting natural landscapes. From your own home you have access to miles of walking trails, riding paths, cycling routes, and wildlife-rich meadows which unfold in front of you. Morning dog walks, weekend family adventures, quiet evening strolls, or horse-riding through the Common, it’s all quite literally on your doorstep.

Owned from new, the house is presented in good condition throughout. As soon as you step through the front door you are welcomed by a double height hall with a balconied landing looking down. At its heart is a contemporary kitchen with breakfast bar, flowing into an office space that frames the rear garden and the untouched woodland beyond. A separate 19ft lounge, complete with feature fireplace and double doors to the terrace, creates a calm space to unwind and enjoy the shifting colours of the seasons. A versatile dining room, practical utility room and a downstairs WC complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, four generous double bedrooms offer peaceful retreats. The master includes a pristine en-suite and fitted wardrobes, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a luxurious family bathroom. To the rear, the South Westerly facing garden is a private haven with uninterrupted views that make you feel as though you’re backing onto your own nature reserve. Whether you're hosting summer gatherings, practising yoga on the lawn, or simply watching the wildlife drift across the meadow, the setting is truly exceptional. The outside is completed by 225 sq ft cabin with electrics and heating which could be used as a home office, a covered entertaining area, off street parking for 3 cars and an attached double garage.

A further lifestyle bonus is an additional 0.16-acre plot of land that has been purchased by the current owners which extends the possibilities even further. Ideal as a small holding, space for growing fruit and veg, or the perfect spot to build a small stable for a pony, this extra parcel of land unlocks the potential for a more rural, hands-on lifestyle while retaining the convenience of suburban living. All of this sits within easy reach of Ashtead Station, excellent schools, and local shops, giving you countryside tranquillity without compromise.
