Skimmington Cottages, Reigate Heath, Reigate RH2

A charming two-bedroom period cottage in A delightful position overlooking reigate heath

Idyllically situated on Reigate Heath, an area much sought after for its combination of countryside surroundings, proximity to the town centre and excellent opportunities for walking, riding and other outdoor pursuits, this charming and beautifully presented two-bedroom period cottage is also just a stone’s throw from the popular Skimmington Castle pub.

The cottage has been thoughtfully and stylishly improved by the current owner, creating a welcoming home that retains its period character and enjoys a leafy outlook to both the front and rear.

At the heart of the home is a bright and airy kitchen/dining room, overlooking the rear garden and the open heath beyond. Shaker-style units, a butler sink and tiled flooring complement the room’s character, while the front sitting room features an elegant fireplace, creating a cosy space in which to relax.

On the first floor, both bedrooms have decorative period fireplace surrounds and built-in wardrobe space. The bathroom has a luxurious feel, with a striking freestanding clawfoot bath and separate shower enclosure.

The rear garden is a particularly appealing feature, clearly well-loved and carefully maintained, with established, well-stocked beds, mature trees and thoughtfully positioned seating areas interspersed with areas of lawn. Beyond the garden, the open heath provides an attractive natural backdrop.

To the front, there is on-road parking and an enclosed courtyard providing access to Cottages 1 and 2.
