Harestone Valley Road, Caterham, CR3 6HP

Here’s a polished version:

This detached three-bedroom 1930s home has not been on the market for over 60 years.

Beautifully full of character, this charming property boasts a large garden, original period features, and exciting potential to extend to the side and rear, subject to the usual permissions. Being at the bottom of the road, it is just a short walk from the station and local amenities. With no parking directly outside the house, it also offers a rare sense of privacy.

Vendor comments:

“My home was purchased by my Father in December 1960 so has remained in the family and been owner occupied continuously for nearly 66 years!
People often remark that it is a friendly house with a nice feel; hopefully, my family have contributed to this.

There is a large secluded garden, part of which, (prior to the house being built which was 1932), formed the driveway to Harestone House, a 19th Century mansion.
This driveway ran from The Lodge, (now No. 63), through all the gardens up to Harestone House and was lined with interspersed pine and horse chestnut trees, 3 of these trees were evident in my garden until the storm of 1987.

Practicalities: In 2016 new windows / double glazing. Followed by new boiler, kitchen, bathroom, carpets, plastering and decorating.
The lounge also benefits from an open fireplace which adds a cosy focal point during the Winter.

Hopefully whoever takes over will also love it as much as I have and not only enjoy the house and garden, (lovely neighbours too,) but appreciate the convenience of its location.”
