Coulsdon Lane, Chipstead, CR5 3QL

This pretty, farmhouse-style detached house has an enviable setting in a ‘double plot’ of almost an acre, adjoining the protected Neale’s Field.

The property offers its next owners an exciting opportunity to refurbish, extend or even replace the house in this high value location.

Available for the first time in almost 50 years, this charming 1920’s detached house is now available with no onward chain and offers tremendous potential.

The four-bedroom interior is remarkable bright and retains many character features throughout.

The property enjoys privacy, set back on a broad frontage to the lane with a gravel In and Out driveway that provides ample parking spaces in addition to a large double width garage.

The gardens are beautiful and have natural screening to all sides with an orchard and several mature trees.

The house is set to one side of its plot and there is the scope for an additional dwelling to be built, subject to planning consent.

Otherwise, the property offers tremendous scope for refurbishment, significant extensions or even complete replacement, again subject to planning consent.

Adjoining the protected Neale’s Field to the rear and side, the property has a desirable village location with great accessibility.
