Cliftons Lane, Reigate, Surrey, RH2

A HANDSOME AND WONDERFULLY POSITIONED DETACHED FAMILY HOME ENJOYING STUNNING VIEWS AND SET
IN A GENEROUS PLOT EXTENDING TO APPROXIMATELY 1.5 ACRES

Clifton Cottage is one of a handful of properties in this secluded and sought after no-through lane. Enviably located opposite Reigate Heath, this handsome detached 1920s property offers a wonderful opportunity to acquire a charming family home set in a unique location in the lee of the North Downs, with far-reaching views to Box Hill, and surrounded by established landscaped grounds with south-facing lawns and terraces.

Clifton’s Lane leads directly to a footpath to the top of Colley
Hill and the Pilgrim’s Way, that runs between the cathedrals of
Canterbury and Winchester.

A testament to the property’s appeal is its having served as a family home for the current owners for some 28 years. Boasting some 2,308 sq. ft. of accommodation arranged over two floors, the property has been sympathetically enhanced and extended over time, creating a delightful home in a stunning setting. The architect-designed layout and many structural features have turned the original living space into a property that takes full advantage of its ideal location.

At the heart of this home is a contemporary Stoneham kitchen/ breakfast room with a sociable central island, sleek handleless units, Siemens and Bosch integrated appliances. An archway leads to an elegant dual aspect dining room with beautiful views to the garden. A sitting room with French doors to the terrace and feature fireplace, together with a snug with woodburning stove, provide further versatile accommodation. Completing this floor is a cloakroom, separate utility room and walk-in pantry.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a spacious ensuite shower room. The second
bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, whilst the additional three
bedrooms are served by a contemporary shower room with walk-in shower and underfloor heating.

THE GROUNDS
The expertly landscaped grounds are a standout feature of the property, incorporating thoughtfully placed seating areas, a pond with duck house, paddock and kitchen garden with raised beds and greenhouse. An array of established trees, shrubs and flowers provide colour and variety throughout the seasons.

Within the grounds is a detached barn (with power and water), ideal as a home office, gym or stabling. A vegetable garden with raised beds, fruit nets and a greenhouse is situated adjacent to the barn. There is also a children’s playhouse.

To the front is an expansive lawn, detached double garage and driveway parking. In all, the plot extends to approximately 1.5 acres, offering a superb combination of space, privacy, and natural beauty, all just a mile from the centre of Reigate.
