5 bed detached house for sale

Millers Lane Outwood, Redhill, Surrey RH1

* 9.5kWh solar system with battery power storage *

Set on a plot of approximately three quarters of an acre in the village of Outwood, this modern detached home has been thoughtfully extended and renovated to offer a level of space and versatility that is rarely found in a single property. Five bedrooms, four reception rooms, an exceptional open plan kitchen and a collection of well considered outbuildings combine to create a home that adapts readily to family life, remote working, and entertaining alike.

Arrival is immediately assured. An in and out driveway sweeps to a double carport providing generous covered parking, with a timber garden room adjacent, enjoying its own private terrace and accessed via full width French doors. Insulated and well proportioned, this is a flexible space that lends itself naturally to use as a home office, a gym, or overflow guest accommodation.

Inside, the kitchen is the heart of the house in every sense. Fitted in warm oak with a classic shaker profile, it is a generous and genuinely sociable space, laid with large format stone tiles and flooded with light from windows on two aspects overlooking the garden. A central island provides additional preparation space and a natural gathering point, while a built in banquette with a farmhouse table sits to one side — the kind of detail that turns a kitchen into a room people simply do not want to leave. The whole space flows openly into the living areas, with glazed doors framing the garden beyond, so that the boundary between inside and outside is pleasingly blurred on fine days. The reception rooms offer a range of configurations, from formal dining to a comfortable family room and a snug for quieter evenings, giving the house a layout that can be drawn in or opened up as the occasion demands.

The principal bedroom upstairs is a genuine retreat, complete with a well appointed ensuite and a separate dressing room. Four further bedrooms serve family and guests, all supported by a thoughtfully fitted family bathroom. Outside, the garden makes full use of the plot. A series of terraces descends from the house, leading to a dedicated entertaining area arranged around a built in BBQ and pizza oven, shaded by a sail canopy and designed with long summer evenings in mind. The grounds beyond provide space, privacy and room to breathe. The property benefits from a 9.5 kilowatt hour solar system with battery storage, significantly reducing energy costs and reflecting a considered approach to running a home of this size.
