4 bed detached house for sale

Woodland Way, Caterham CR3

Tucked away within one of Caterham's most sought-after residential roads, this detached family home enjoys an exceptional setting, surrounded by beautifully established gardens and mature woodland that provide a remarkable sense of privacy, despite being just moments from Caterham School and the town centre.

The current owners have significantly improved and extended the property, creating a home that retains the character of the original house whilst providing generous, well-balanced accommodation for family life. A welcoming reception hall provides an immediate introduction, where oak flooring, leaded windows and an elegant staircase set the tone. The sitting room is centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with exposed brickwork, oak beams and a wood-burning stove, complemented by bespoke fitted cabinetry and views across the gardens. A separate reception room offers flexibility as either a formal dining room, family room or study. The kitchen, dining and family room is an outstanding space, defined by its vaulted ceiling with exposed oak timbers, rooflights and wide bi-fold doors opening directly onto the terrace and gardens. Arranged around a substantial central island, the kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of contemporary cabinetry and integrated appliances, whilst a separate utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor. The first floor provides four generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom featuring both a bath and separate walk-in shower. * Please note that Virtual staging has been used to show some furniture.*

Outside: The property is approached via a large private driveway, providing ample parking for several vehicles and access to the detached double garage. Beautifully established planting and mature trees frame the approach, immediately reflecting the privacy and seclusion that define the setting.

The detached double garage has been comprehensively refurbished and benefits from an electric roller door, EV charging point, power, lighting and plumbing. It also offers excellent potential for conversion into ancillary accommodation (stp).

To the rear, the gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of distinct outdoor spaces. A broad paved terrace extends across the rear of the house, incorporating a built-in barbecue and pizza oven, and provides an excellent setting for outdoor dining overlooking the heated swimming pool. Expansive lawns are interspersed with mature specimen trees and established planting, creating an attractive outlook from both the house and garden. Beyond the formal gardens, the grounds continue into an area of mature woodland, providing a wonderful natural backdrop and reinforcing the property's exceptional sense of privacy. Extending to approximately one acre, the grounds are a defining feature of the property and offer a setting that is rarely found so close to Caterham School and the town centre. The grounds also include a detached summerhouse incorporating a sauna, together with a separate outbuilding, ideal as a home office, studio or gym. In all the grounds extend to about 0.92 acres (0.37 Ha)

Situation: Situated within one of Caterham's most established and sought-after residential roads, the property enjoys a peaceful setting whilst remaining conveniently placed for the town centre, with its selection of shops, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets and mainline railway station (1.6 miles), providing regular services to London Bridge and London Victoria. Caterham is particularly well regarded for its excellent choice of both state and independent schools, including the highly regarded Caterham School. The surrounding North Downs offer extensive walking, cycling and riding, with the renowned Caterham Viewpoint, known for its far-reaching views across the Surrey countryside, just a short distance away.
