5 bed detached house for sale

Ifield Road, Charlwood, Surrey RH6

Beyond the Victorian red brick façade, refined interiors marry sympathetic character with aesthetic, contemporary features at this private family home.

Believed to have been a former store and pump house to the private orchard for Charlwood House, Fig Tree Cottage was constructed in circa 1890 and later converted into a family home which enjoys beautiful gardens and a particularly private setting in the heart of the village.

Accessed along a private driveway, shared with only the neighbouring property, this handsome home has been subject to a thorough renovation in recent years. Living areas overlook and open onto the gardens, with the sitting room featuring a pretty bay window and the outstanding, vaulted kitchen/dining room offering bi-folding doors onto the the old courtyard, which now forms the patio area of the garden, ideal for al fresco entertaining. The kitchen has an adjacent utility room, there is a downstairs WC and boot room and a family room/snug could make a great fifth bedroom, in addition to the study to the front.

Upstairs bedrooms overlook neighbouring fields, where from time to time you'll see sheep grazing, and are arranged around a modern central staircase. The bathroom is just as luxuriously fitted as the rest of the house and there's even a useful laundry chute.

At the front of the cottage, there is a mature garden, covered terrace, double garage with EV point and plentiful parking.
