House For Sale £999,000
A detached family home set back from this popular private road in Chipstead.
Location
The house is positioned at the start of a private, no through road offering easy access to Banstead Woods and Chipstead train station for the best of both worlds.
Picturesque Chipstead village lies within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is surprisingly close to the southern boundary of Greater London with the station sitting within Zone 6 of the London transport network. It is, however, far from suburban and comprising largely open countryside, the area is much sought after for its combination of great convenience, rural tranquillity, alongside the outstanding local schools and traditional village amenities.
Nearby Chipstead parade offers an array of amenities including a popular wine bar and coffee shop and village post office.
Chipstead offers most of the classic features expected of a country village, with a beautiful Norman church, a pretty village pond, a community hall, youth and adult football, rugby and cricket clubs, a village green, two pubs and an amateur theatre.
Just under approximately two miles away, Banstead offers both a Waitrose and Marks and Spencers food hall and a well stocked high-street. Furthermore, nearby Reigate and Epsom offer a wider range of shopping, leisure and cultural activities and of course London itself which is within easy reach.
The area benefits from good communications with easy access to the main A217 and A23/M23 routes as well as the M25 junction 8, for the airports and the national motorway network. Gatwick is within easy reach and the bustling city of Guildford is a 40 minute drive away.
Number 4 Old Oak Avenue has a choice of three local train stations providing frequent services to London Victoria, London Blackfriars and London Bridge, with the fastest being from Coulsdon South, about a 5 minute drive away with a journey time of about 21 minutes to London Bridge and 28 minutes to London Victoria. Alternatively, Chipstead station is just under a 10 minute walk with a 42 minute direct line to London Bridge.
There is a good selection of state and private schools within reach including, the Ofsted rated outstanding, Chipstead Valley Primary, Chinthurst Preparatory School, Reigate Grammar School, Epsom College, St Bede’s Secondary School and The Royal Alexandra and Albert School to name just a few.
Sporting and recreational facilities are extensive with golf at Walton Heath, Chipstead and Surrey Downs in Kingswood. Tennis at Chipstead and Kingswood Tennis Clubs. Racing at Sandown and Epsom (home of the Derby). Polo at Epsom Polo Club and exceptional access to walking, cycling and hacking across the North Downs.
Description
This substantial detached family home, constructed in the 1930s, offers spacious accommodation in a private and elevated location. The house is set back from the road and offers great views of the Downs from the front of the house. The property benefits from a wide plot providing a garage with access to the garden on one side and a car port to the other.
Downstairs, the accommodation provides a very useful enclosed porch and generous hallway with a cloakroom and shower room. A very attractive dining room to the front of the property has a large bay window and beautiful hardwood flooring with opening doors into the kitchen. The well proportioned sitting room has features form the era which include the traditional picture rail and elegant side lights to the period fireplace. Leading from the sitting room are a pair of opening doors with side lights to the conservatory. The kitchen and utility room are in need of some modernisation and offer great opportunity to extend subject to the necessary permissions.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a generous size enjoying triple aspect windows. Three further double bedrooms enjoy the use of the family bathroom and separate WC. The overriding feeling of space adds a special dimension to this lovely property.
The property is approached by a drive way offering parking for several cars with the benefits of the garage and car port. Adjacent to the garage are a number of useful stores. The generous garden has been terraced and is mainly laid to lawn with several specimen trees and shrubs, making it an ideal garden for children. To the rear of the garden is a summer house which has great potential for a home office or gym.
