The generous sitting room features bespoke media cabinetry and large sliding doors onto the garden, while a separate study provides an excellent home working space.

The kitchen/family room forms the real heart of the house, with bespoke solid wood cabinetry, stone work surfaces, extensive integrated appliances, Quooker tap and a large central island with breakfast bar.

A separate dining area flows into a fabulous orangery/snug, creating another wonderfully sociable space with a glazed roof, exposed brickwork and views across the garden.

Owners’ Comments: “We have absolutely loved living here and, for us, the combination of the house, garden and location has made it a fantastic place to bring up our family.

One of the things we have appreciated most is having safe access to Master Park via a public footpath.

The fantastic new Hub has become a real focal point for the community, with cricket taking centre stage during the summer months and Oxted Football Club making it their home during the winter.

As a family, we have loved spending time at the park, playing tennis, watching cricket and football and walking the dog.

The children have always had fantastic recreational facilities right on their doorstep, while Oxted town centre offers the Everyman cinema, restaurants, bars and shops, all within easy walking distance.

The garden has always been a huge part of family life.

It is private and not overlooked, with plenty of different areas to sit and relax, but importantly it was deliberately designed to suit our lifestyle.

We wanted to challenge the idea that a big family house has to come with a huge garden that takes up your weekends and costs a fortune to maintain.

Instead, we created a mud-free garden that gives us everything we wanted – space for entertaining, relaxing, barbecues and having friends and family over, without the constant upkeep.

The recreational chalet, bar, covered seating and barbecue area have been brilliant and mean we can enjoy the garden throughout the year, whatever the weather.

For us, it has provided a great balance – a substantial family home within walking distance of Oxted, but with a garden designed to be enjoyed rather than maintained.

With busy family and working lives, that has given us back both time and money, while still allowing us to enjoy all the benefits of outdoor living.

As the children grew into teenagers, the top floor became another real advantage.

The two large bedrooms and their own bathroom gave them privacy, independence and somewhere to relax with friends, while still being very much part of the family home.

The house has adapted brilliantly as our family has grown, from having young children through to the teenage years.

We will really miss the space, the privacy and having so much of what we enjoy as a family right on our doorstep.”
