5 bed detached house for sale

Chipstead Way, Banstead, Surrey SM7

Occupying a commanding position with far reaching views towards Chipstead Golf Course, 'Hill Cottage' was built in 1931, and is one of the first two houses to have been built in the road.

The house is conveniently located within easy reach of well-regarded schools including Chipstead Valley Primary and Woodmansterne Primary, as well as local shops and amenities. Good transport links include Woodmansterne and Chipstead Stations which provide services to London Bridge, and the 166 Bus Route which runs between Epsom Hospital and West Croydon Station, Linking Banstead, Coulsdon, and Purley.

Banstead High Street offers a more comprehensive selection of restaurants and shops, including Waitrose Supermarket and Marks & Spencer Simply Food.

This charming house is offered to the market for the first time since 1963, with no onward chain.

Whilst the house would benefit from some modernisation, it offers the chance to create a truly superb family home, with the potential to extend as neighbouring properties have, subject to the usual planning consents.

The house has a warm homely feel throughout, and the ground floor briefly comprises; welcoming entrance hall, double aspect living room with a feature fireplace, and sliding patio doors that open onto the garden, a separate dining room, and a fitted kitchen with ample cupboards and worktop space, and a downstairs WC.

A turning staircase leads up to the first floor which provides four to five bedrooms. Four of the bedrooms can accommodate a double bed. The principal bedroom is accessed through bedroom 5 so this fifth bedroom has been used as a bedroom or study area. All the bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and separate WC.

The property has an attractive frontage, with hedges to each side, a small lawn, shrub borders, and a private driveway providing off street parking and access to the garage, which has a rear door leading to the garden.

The delightful mature rear garden is approximately 98 feet in length and is essentially in 3 sections. It has a raised patio area adjacent to the house, and slopes down onto the lawn, with a level area at the bottom, complimented by a selection of shrubs and trees all framed by mature hedges.

The house is located just 200 meters from woodland, which opens out into Banstead Woods and Chipstead Fields. Ideal for countryside walks.
