Detached house for sale in Alderwood Close, Caterham CR3

9 Alderwood Close is the perfect family home, enjoying a prime setting close to the town centre and its many amenities but with a fantastic leafy feel locally. This generously proportioned house has all the space needed for family life, including a choice of reception rooms, five good-size bedrooms and lovely, well-stocked gardens. The 3100 sq ft of accommodation is arranged over three floors, with each of the rooms being well sized and suited to both the demands of the family and entertaining friends at home. The house is beautifully presented throughout, with modern kitchen and bathrooms, heritage colours and premium materials – the stone fireplace in the sitting room is a particular highlight. The standard of finish is very high, after a cosmetic renovation in 2021 which included new flooring, though the beautiful original wood parquet flooring remains in the dining room.

The entrance hall is a welcoming first impression, leading to a large sitting room at the front of the house, a separate formal dining room and a glazed garden room with views over the garden. The kitchen is well appointed with a range of wall and base units, and also benefits from a utility area. The principal bedroom on the first floor is a good-sized room with dressing room and en suite bathroom, while there are three further bedrooms and a shower room on the first floor and an additional bedroom and en suite shower room on the top floor.

Outside

The property is set within a very generous plot, its gardens wrapping around three sides of the house.

To the side and rear there is a separate gated area comprising a terrace and a decking area which is a private space for entertaining. To the front there is a driveway for two cars leading up to an attached garage. There is also a detached workshop.
