Waterlow Road, Reigate

A HANDSOME DETACHED FAMILY HOME IN A DESIRABLE POSITION CLOSE TO EXCELLENT LOCAL SCHOOLS

Waterlow Road is a sought-after residential address, ideally located for Reigate town centre and its excellent range of amenities, including highly regarded local schools.

This handsome detached 1930s home was one of the first properties to be built in Waterlow Road and has been cherished by the current owners as a much-loved family home for many decades. The property boasts some 2,700 sq ft of accommodation arranged over two floors plus a loft room, offering a versatile layout and superb potential.

The current owners have extended the rear of the property to create a light-filled open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, featuring a striking roof lantern above the central island and an abundance of thoughtfully designed storage. A family room, dining room and elegant front sitting room provide further flexible living space, while a utility room, boot room, cloakroom and access to the integral garage complete the ground floor.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom is particularly spacious and benefits from built-in wardrobes. Two further double bedrooms and a fourth single bedroom/study are served by a family bathroom with both a bath and separate shower.

Accessed via paddle stairs is a generously sized second floor room- an ideal space for use as a games room or teenage retreat.

Planning permission has previously been granted for a two storey extension (ref 26/01101/HHOLD). This would create an ensuite to the principal bedroom, and increase the size of the smallest bedroom to provide a more balanced first floor. Although the planning has now lapsed, it would be reasonable to assume that this could be re-instated.

Occupying a generous plot in one of Reigate's most desirable residential roads, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful family home with excellent living space, tremendous potential and an enviable location.

OUTSIDE
To the front of the property is driveway parking in front of the integral garage as well as an area of lawn. The thoughtfully landscaped mature rear garden extends some 180ft from the rear of the property. The garden is mainly laid to lawn, and incorporates patio seating areas on two levels together with a water feature

Well-stocked beds provide interest and colour throughout the seasons and established trees and shrubs offer a high degree of seclusion. At the end of the garden is a working kitchen garden, with raised vegetable beds, a greenhouse, and a store/ workshop.
