Orchard Cottage, Quality Street, Redhill, RH1 3BB

***no chain*** Hunter and Company are excited to offer this picture-perfect, Grade II "Curtilage" Listed, detached cottage tucked away on the sought-after ‘Quality Street’ in Merstham.

This rarely available and unique period home has been lovingly renovated over the last 15 years and combines high standard contemporary touches with the beautifully retained period features.

Outside the cottage has attractive weatherboard cladding and an entirely tile hung wall which can be enjoyed from the landscaped wrap around garden.

We particularly love the painted window shutters and exposed beams throughout.

You enter the property into the sitting room which has a double aspect and fabulous open working fireplace with reclaimed wood surround.

Light stone flooring compliments this room and leads through to the dining area.

With another open working fireplace, the dining room has a handy storage cupboard and opens up into the stylish kitchen with high gloss units, integrated dishwasher, oven and hob and is finished off with stone worktops.

The additional pantry with plumbing for washing machine / tumble dryer will prove very valuable and there is also space for a large freestanding fridge / freezer.

Slate flooring runs throughout these spaces in the rear of the property and into the breakfast room – a light and airy triple aspect space which overlooks and accesses the garden.

The bathroom offers an ever-popular Victorian suite with freestanding slipper bath and recessed shower.

The charm continues upstairs where all three bedrooms have vaulted ceilings and the two doubles also have original fireplaces.

The property is situated in the highly-regarded area of Merstham, renowned for its picturesque high street and boutique shops, as well as several listed buildings.

It is also the site of the annual ‘Quality Street Fair’.

The area benefits from Merstham mainline train station, which offers regular direct services to London Victoria and London Bridge, with travel times of under 40 minutes.

There are excellent bus and motorway connections, with the M25 and M23 in close proximity. Merstham is nearing completion of an extensive regeneration scheme.

Notable developments include the opening of a Co-op convenience store and Day-Lewis Pharmacy, alongside the Community Hub and additional retail and dining establishments.

The refurbished Merstham Recreation Ground, following a £3 million investment, now features a pavilion, playground, parkour course, outdoor gym, community orchard, picnic area, pathways, and landscaped areas.

The nearby Watercolour development offers various amenities such as a Tesco Express, bus links, a veterinary surgery, doctor’s surgery, pharmacy, and a new children's nursery.

On the outskirts of Merstham near Nutfield Marsh lies Mercers Country Park, a significant nature reserve established around a former quarry pit.

This historic site is now known as Mercers Lake, which supports water sports and provides scenic views over the Greensand Ridge, along with numerous public footpaths suitable for dog walking.

The Deck café and bar has recently opened at Aqua Sports on Nutfield Marsh.

Opposite Mercers Lake, the 'Inn on the Pond' country pub is a popular destination, offering patrons the opportunity to enjoy beverages while watching cricket matches played on the adjacent green.

Educational facilities in the vicinity include several primary schools—Merstham, Furzefield, and Lime Tree—as well as secondary schools such as Carrington School, St Bede's, Royal Alexandra and Albert, and Merstham Park.
