Kingswood, KT20 6HT

Set in an acre, on the edge of one of Surrey’s most desirable villages, an Edwardian detached house of great character and gravitas.

Enhanced by the addition of contemporary luxury, a wonderful family home of almost 7,000 sq ft, now available with no onward chain.

One of Kingswood’s originals, this impressive house was one of Costain’s earliest houses, built around 1906.

Authentic character features from its period are evident throughout the substantial accommodation and the house retains its unspoiled one-acre plot.

The owners have taken this wonderful home to a new level, adding a spacious, open-plan kitchen-dining-living room, flooded by light by virtue of two large skylights.

From are full-height sliding doors leading out to the terrace and gardens, bringing the outside in, perfect for those who like to host.

The bespoke fitted kitchen is complemented by high-end appliances such as the Lacanche range cooker, Sub-Zero fridge/freezer and Siemens ovens.

Costain’s original reception rooms have oak flooring and grand fireplaces and offer versatility if use such as formal dining, study or games room.

There are practical enhancements too, such as the large, fitted utility/boot room with shower room, ideal for cleaning dogs (and children).

Over first and second floors, there are seven double bedrooms and four further bath / shower rooms including an impressive principal suite and guest suite.

Ample space here for an independent apartment, perhaps to suit an extended family.

The wonderful gardens have natural privacy, level lawns, specimen trees and shrubs and the swimming pool is heated by groundsource heat pump.

The large summerhouse is heated and would also make an ideal office.

On the edge of Kingswood Village, the property enjoys natural privacy and seclusion, set back from lane with remote-controlled automatic gates.

Within walking distance, the village offers commuter rail services to London, local shopping and the Kingswood Arms gastro-pub.

For more diverse shopping and supermarkets, Reigate, Epsom and Banstead Village are all within a few minutes' drive and the nearby A217 provides an arterial route to London.

Nearby, the M25 motorway at Reigate Hill (J8) gives swift access to Heathrow and Gatwick Airports as well as the coastal ports.

Some of Surrey's finest schools are available locally including Epsom College, Reigate Grammar, City of London Freemans, Dunnotar, Chinthurst and Banstead Prep.

Some schools run a private bus service from the area.

High on the Surrey Hills, the area has venues for almost every conceivable sport, leisure and cultural pursuit including Kingswood's two golf clubs and tennis club, the RAC Woodcote Park Golf and Country Club, Epsom Racecourse as well as abundant open countryside for walking, cycling and horse-riding and many pubs, restaurants, local theatre and cinema.
