9 bed detached house for sale

Blackberry Lane, Lingfield, Surrey RH7

Dating back to about 1908, this fine Edwardian residence is striking in appearance and privately set within established grounds. The property offers substantial and well-proportioned family space.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with the impressive formal reception rooms positioned on the southerly side, overlooking the garden, either side of the spacious central reception hall. This is a fine room, opening out to the gardens and with a turn-staircase rising up to the first floor accommodation and featuring a tall window over the half landing.

There is also a lift providing access from the kitchen to the first floor suite. On this level, there are four further bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en suite bathroom. Three of these beautifully proportioned bedrooms have wonderful bay windows overlooking the front gardens.

Points of note throughout the reception areas include large bay windows with a lovely outlook, high ceilings with decorative mouldings, fireplaces, oak flooring and oak panelling in the dining room. The bespoke hand-painted kitchen/breakfast room has painted wooden units with wood, marble and tiled surfaces, as well as tiled flooring, centred around a recessed Falcon gas range cooker. This in turn leads through to the large garden/family room, creating attractive informal space, ideal for modern day living.

In addition to the main accommodation, there is a flexible first floor annexe with its own front door. This could be expanded into the ground floor to make it even more spacious, if desired.

Nb: Available by separate negotiation, there is a detached Lodge Cottage which has been recently modernised and is very well presented (Lot 2 on plan on page 15). It has a discreet area of garden as well as parking by the main gates, with the apple orchard and further screening from the gardens of the main house. Planning Permission is now confirmed to allow redevelopment of the cottage as a separate dwelling, as a new build property, enabling it to be sold separately. Further information is available at: Planning Ref: 2025/958

Agent's Note:
The lodge contains asbestos within its structure, with a professional report obtained by our client which confirms that no action is required other than to manage the risk including ongoing monitoring.

The gardens and grounds are a real feature of the property, with mature hedging and rhododendrons to the boundaries and an impressive treelined approach drive behind the entrance gates.

The formal lawns and extensive planting lie immediately behind the house and are laid-out and divided by shingled pathways, together with an orchard and a paddock beyond, which has its own access to the drive, the cottage garden, greenhouses, planted areas and two large garden sheds.

In all the property (Lot 1) extends to about 3.27 acres.
