An exciting opportunity to acquire an unmodernised, detached three-bedroom former school house with excellent scope, set within a generous mature garden plot measuring 0.22 acres
The home, in the agent’s words
Read the full agent description
A detached 1960s build former School House, positioned on a generous plot, with internal accommodation measuring approximately 977 sq ft / 90.8 sq m (excluding a garden shed) and offering well proportioned living accommodation. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, cloakroom and useful storage, with access from the rear of the property onto a decked area and the garden beyond. The first floor is currently arranged with three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The accommodation now requires comprehensive updating and improvement throughout, making it ideally suited to buyers looking to create a home to their own taste. The existing layout, detached nature of the property and generous plot provide considerable scope for refurbishment, reconfiguration or extension, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.
Externally, the property is approached via a gated entrance with off-street parking and sits within a substantial mature garden plot, with established trees, hedging, lawned areas and a decked seating area adjoining the rear of the house. The garden measures approximately 104' x 89' and is a particular feature of the property, offering privacy, greenery and excellent potential for landscaping or further enhancement.
Properties of this nature are seldom available, and the former School House combines potential and a generous plot size, in a convenient Caterham location just 0.7 miles from Caterham Station.
Caterham is a sought-after Surrey location, combining excellent local amenities with easy access to open countryside.

Surrounded by the North Downs and close to the Surrey Hills, Caterham is ideal for buyers seeking a well-connected yet green and characterful place to live.
Please note that, following acceptance of an offer, all buyers will be required to complete mandatory identity verification checks in accordance with anti-money laundering regulations. A charge of £12 per person will apply to cover the cost of this process. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us to maintain regulatory compliance and ensure a secure transaction for all parties.
