5 bed detached house for sale

Harestone Valley Road, Caterham CR3

This attractive and extended family home occupies a generous corner plot of approximately 0.25 acres, set back behind a sweeping driveway that provides both presence and privacy, with well-balanced accommodation arranged over two floors. A spacious entrance hall with a galleried landing and stained-glass window creates an impressive first impression and leads through to a range of well-proportioned reception rooms. The principal living room is a bright, double-aspect space with a bay window, a feature fireplace with multi-fuel stove, and French doors opening directly onto the garden, while a separate family room to the front, also with a bay window and fireplace, offers a more intimate setting. The heart of the home is a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and family area with tiled flooring and casement doors to the garden, fitted with a painted solid wood kitchen, granite worktops, a central island with breakfast seating, and a Britannia six-ring induction range with extractor above, alongside space for an American-style fridge/freezer, an integrated dishwasher, and a bay window that enhances natural light. A separate utility room provides excellent supporting space, complete with a traditional timber dresser, sink, space for an additional fridge, and plumbing for appliances. A ground floor study overlooks the garden and is ideally suited to home working, complemented by a downstairs cloakroom with fitted storage. Upstairs, five well-proportioned double bedrooms are arranged around the galleried landing, including a generous principal bedroom with a smart en-suite shower room, with several bedrooms benefiting from bay windows and one enjoying a double aspect with a built-in window seat, all served by a well-appointed family bathroom and a separate contemporary shower room.

Outside: The property sits on a corner plot of approximately 0.24 acres and is approached via an in-and-out crazy-paved driveway with a semi-circular lawn. There is parking for several vehicles and access to an attached garage with electric roller door and power. There is also the benefit of an EV charger. A putting green is set within the front garden. The wrap-around garden creates several distinct areas of interest. To one side, there is a patio area with raised beds, enclosed by hedgerow and trees. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and bordered by fencing and mature planting, including acer and cherry blossom trees. A paved terrace runs along the back of the house, with direct access from the living spaces. There is also an astroturf area for ease of maintenance.
