5 bed detached house for sale

Harestone Valley Road, Caterham CR3

The galleried entrance hall is spacious and full of character, with a stained-glass window drawing the eye up to the galleried landing. From here, the reception rooms offer different places to gather or retreat. The double-aspect sitting room has a bay window, a fireplace with multi-fuel stove and French doors to the garden. A separate family room at the front of the house has its own bay window and fireplace, creating a more intimate setting. At the heart of the house is the open-plan kitchen, dining and family room. A bay window and casement doors bring in light and connect the room to the garden, while tiled flooring makes it a practical space for everyday life. The painted solid-wood kitchen has granite worktops, a central island with breakfast seating and a Flavel Milano electric range with extractor. There is also an integrated dishwasher and space for an American-style fridge freezer. The separate utility room is particularly useful, with a traditional timber dresser, sink, plumbing for appliances and space for an additional fridge. A study overlooking the garden provides a dedicated place to work, and the ground-floor cloakroom includes fitted storage. Upstairs, five double bedrooms lead off the galleried landing. The principal bedroom has an en-suite shower room; several of the bedrooms have bay windows, while one enjoys a double aspect and a built-in window seat. A family bathroom and a separate contemporary shower room complete the first floor.

Outside: An in-and-out crazy-paved driveway sweeps around a semi-circular lawn, providing parking for several vehicles. The front garden also has a putting green, while an EV charger and an attached garage with power and an electric roller door add everyday convenience. The garden wraps around the house and offers several distinct spaces. To one side is a patio with raised beds, enclosed by hedging and trees. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, with fencing and mature planting that includes acer and cherry blossom trees. A paved terrace runs along the back of the house, with direct access from the living areas, and there is a separate artificial-grass area.
