SELLER INSIGHT
Old Works is a superb family home with a charming history. The owners’ grandfather built an engineering factory on the present site, and when they moved premises after some 80+ years, the factory was demolished and the attractive, double fronted house built in its place. The house was designed to a high specification by the owners’ father and completed in 2006. It is an elegant and ultra comfortable home.
Great care was taken with the design to provide spacious, contemporary and uncluttered rooms with generous windows that flood the house with natural light. The result is a home that has a pleasing and inviting ambience. The owners say the generous hallway is such a welcoming place to greet visitors, and they are always impressed by the space and layout of the rest of the house.
The streamlined kitchen is perfect for the keen cook and the walk-in larder is great extra storage and working space for entertaining, whilst the flow into the dining area makes the area the perfect sociable hub of the household. In all, a great entertaining space, perfect for chatty family meals or formal dining. The space saving pocket doors in most of the ground floor allow the house to be either open plan, creating free flowing spaces for entertaining or more separated spaces, as required.
The sitting room is a tranquil, chic room, ideal for relaxation and entertaining. The attractive fireplace is similar to one in an earlier home and a delightful example of a connection to the family’s history. French doors open to the garden, and it is a summer pleasure to open them and invite the garden in.
The master bedroom suite, with fabulous en-suite bath and shower room has the luxury of plenty of room for a sitting area, making it a great adult sanctuary to escape a busy household for some personal downtime.
The garden is a further calm and restful place to sit on the patio for al fresco meals or for a delightful change of setting, walk the few steps into the lower level and settle on the sunken patio in the main lawned part of the garden. The rich shrubbery and mature trees ensure your total privacy wherever you are.
A pretty walk down a leafy lane takes you into the friendly village with its local shops, pub and church. There are many local footpaths, a large communal field between the house and the golf course, ideal for walking and enjoying the countryside. The towns of Oxted, Caterham and Redhill are nearby, and Oxted, Redhill, Nutfield and Caterham rail stations, have direct trains into London and more southerly destinations. Junction six of the M25 gives access to Heathrow and Gatwick airports.
The owners are sad to sell the family home but know the new owners will come to love it as their family home.*

LOCATION
Located in a tranquil area, this home is conveniently close to Bletchingley and its village hall and community centre, a local store and post office, a cafe, a golf course and a playing field very close and at Grange Meadow a children’s playground, skateboard park and various local clubs.
Bletchingley has medieval origins and was once a borough and market town. The central part of the village is a conservation area and contains numerous impressive and attractive listed buildings, some of which are timber framed. The broad High Street was a market square centuries ago. Footpaths run approximately parallel to the High Street and allow the village centre to be walked around. The Greensand Way runs fairly centrally through the parish. Reigate, Redhill and Oxted are the nearest larger towns and these, along with Bletchingley and other neighbouring traditional villages are located within and around glorious countryside including the Surrey Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), the neighbouring Areas of Great Landscape Value (AGLV) and the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
The whole area is a premium property hotspot, located conveniently to the south of London benefitting from excellent commuter services. A key factor in the high demand for property within the area are the numerous highly regarded independent, private and state schools catering for all age groups.
