PROPERTY PROFILE Built in 1928, The Tiled House, is a classic example of a Tarrant built home, with some delightful character features of this era, sitting centrally on a level plot of 1.25 acres, South/ Easterly facing to the rear, backing directly onto St George’s Hill Tennis Club. What a charming and inviting home The Tiled House is. The property epitomises a home built by WG Tarrant, the original developer on St George’s Hill dating back to 1911 when he bought the Estate from the Egerton family. Tarrant favoured Arts and Crafts design in many of his homes, demonstrated here by the lovely half tile hung elevations and leaded light windows all under a clay roof. This well-loved family home offers well-presented accommodation over two floors, which together with the garaging and indoor pool complex, extends to 5204 sq. ft. The house has a lovely warm feel about it, immediately apparent from the welcoming reception hall with guest cloakroom and giving access to the formal lounge, dining room and snug all enjoying lovely views over the delightful rear gardens. To the Eastern end of the house are the less formal rooms, with the double aspect Kitchen/breakfast room, being the ideal area for informal entertaining and meals. This in turn then leads through to a utility room and large storage cupboard and completing the ground floor is a cosy TV room and conservatory which again has lovely views over the rear gardens. An attractive winding staircase leads to the first floor, which provides five separate well-proportioned bedrooms and a small room used as an upstairs office. The master bedroom is a lovely suite, being at one end of the house and having its own up to date en-suite bathroom. A full family bathroom, separate first floor cloakroom and shower then serve the remaining bedrooms. Whilst perfectly liveable in its current form, like many homes of this age, The Tiled House could benefit from some updating in certain areas. Being situated on such a wide spacious plot, we feel that subject to the necessary consents being obtained, the house could be enlarged and improved, based on extensions and improvements carried out on other neighbouring homes. In addition, it also cannot be ruled out that the plot might now lend itself to complete redevelopment with a new replacement dwelling, in line with the Estate and Planning regulations.

GARDEN & EXTERIOR The Tiled House sits in lovely flat landscaped grounds of 1.25 acres, facing South/Easterly to the rear. The house sits well back from East Road and is approached by a fairly long, attractive shingle driveway, entered via electric wrought iron gates. The driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles and has two large detached garages and a workshop. The gardens to front and rear are a true delight, being very well screened by a variety of mature trees and borders. Despite this excellent seclusion, the rear garden has a very open feel taking full advantage of its sunny aspect and perfect for outdoor entertaining on the rear terrace. The property also has a large detached indoor swimming pool complex situated along the Eastern boundary of the house, not detracting from the main formal lawned rear garden, which also has a gate giving direct access out on to St George’s Hill Tennis Club to the rear.

Access on to the private, gated estate is controlled 24/7 by the estate’s security personnel.
