Property description

Offered to the market for the first time, this detached family home sits on the rural outskirts of Betchworth and Brockham and is accessed via a quiet country lane. Nestle at the end of the lane, the gated property lives up to its name in a peaceful and tranquil setting.
The property offers much scope for improvement and extension, subject to the relevant consent. Originally built in 1961 the property offers a wealth of accommodation with a versatile ground floor layout which could be re configured to include an annexe, if so required. With its generous room sizes and high ceilings, the house feels bright and spacious. The most unique feature of this propetry is the position, surrounded on three sides by fields with far reaching views of the North Downs over farmland.

On the ground floor there are two separate entrances to the home, with the accommodation linked by a hallway. The front door opens onto a porch with storage leading to an entrance hall with stairs to the first floor and doors to the 23ft reception room and separate kitchen/breakfast room with built-in pantry. The second entrance opens to two separate study rooms/home offices (one could be a fourth bedroom) a cloakroom and utility room, keeping all the working space away from the main living accommodation. This ‘wing’ of the house has excellent conversion potential to additional reception rooms or as an annexe.

On the first floor there are three double bedrooms all with built-in storage, a bathroom and a separate cloakroom with w.c. The main bedroom opens onto a roof terrace with far-reaching south-easterly views.

Outside
The property is approached over a single track driveway leading to a gated parking area in front of the house with space for a number of vehicles. The greenhouse and large shed to the rear of the garage have mains power and there is also access to the attached garage/workshop, where there is further potential for conversion. The gardens surround the house on three sides and are mainly laid to lawn with a natural boundary of mature trees and hedges. A gate leads from the garden onto public footpaths providing opportunities to enjoy walks to Strood Green shop, Brockham and Betchworth village amenities.

Situation
Gadbrook Road is a rural lane located between Brockham and to the south of Betchworth, a very popular country village located between Reigate and Dorking with an ancient church, two popular pubs, a village school, shop and Post Office. Despite its semi-rural location, the quiet residential area is well connected to Dorking via the A25/Reigate Road, allowing fast access to the town’s convenience stores and supermarkets including a Waitrose. Dorking station offers fast services to both Victoria and Waterloo, while Deepdene Station gives access to the Reading/Gatwick line. The A24 provides access to the M25 at Leatherhead with Gatwick and Heathrow International airports being readily accessible. The general area is famous for its outstanding countryside including the North Downs and Box Hill, much of which is under National Trust ownership with opportunities for walking and cycling. Good local schools include North Downs School, St Martin’s Primary, Reigate Grammar and Dunottar School for Girls.
