Outside
The house sits in a discreet position off Sandy Lane and is approached via a pair of electric gates, opening on to a long drive that sweeps through the park-like grounds, past the garage and on to the house itself. The gardens are marvellous, landscaped keeping in mind the natural surroundings of the beautiful Surrey countryside, whilst at the same time providing seclusion and year-round interest. Lawns are well-tended, herbaceous borders colourful, trees are tall and magnificent. The pool is surrounded by its own terracing and separated by mature hedging. To the northern side of the house is a lightly wooded area with lawn overlooking the adjoining countryside. Detached from the main house is a substantial garage building, which provides covered parking and a workshop, along with a studio annexe that has a kitchenette and a shower room.

Description
Occupying an enviable, Green Belt position close to both the charming village of Old Oxted and the vibrant town of Oxted, a handsome, detached house of character surrounded by its own landscaped gardens. Displaying distinctive external elevations of red brick with some tile hanging or herringbone brick detailing at first floor level, under a pitched tiled roof with gable ends, the house dates from the 1920s and retains the gentility of the original architecture, reflecting the Arts & Crafts revival style. Subsequently extended, the present owners have been mindful to enhance the period detailing and have maintained the property very well indeed. Features such as the oak framed windows have been carefully upgraded with double glazing, whilst the handsome oak internal doors and staircase have been complimented by polished oaks flooring in the reception hall and dining room. Accommodation within the house is arranged around a fine reception hall on the ground floor and a spacious landing on the first, extending to 2,915 square feet. The two principal reception rooms are large and bright, each with imposing fireplaces (at present the flue in the sitting room is closed off) and enjoying a dual aspect with oversized windows allowing for lovely views of the gardens. Furnished in a sleek and contemporary style, the kitchen/breakfast room is comprehensively fitted with wall and base units and integrated appliances by Bosch and AEG. From here, a wide opening leads directly to a spacious conservatory/dining room, which has glazing to two sides as well as the roofline. Elsewhere on this level is an office, a cloakroom and the laundry room. Laid out across the first floor are four, excellently proportioned bedrooms - two with en-suite shower rooms – together with the family bathroom. A large loft area could provide additional bedroom space, subject to all required building controls.Outside
