Property description

Guide Price £600,000 - £625,000
Have you been looking for that perfect family home for some time and not come across anything yet that really entices you? Well look no further. The layout of this wonderful home offers spacious and versatile accommodation. On the ground floor, it is time to entertain. There is a stunning family/dining room with doors that lead directly out to the garden - excellent for the party to start in, then spill out into the garden. The sitting room also, is of ample size giving you even more space to entertain.
What will be of further benefit is the amount of workspace in your light and airy kitchen allowing you to really cook up a storm for your loved ones in the evening. On the first floor the house also doesn't disappoint, with four bedrooms decorated in tasteful tones and a family bathroom that you can unwind in after a hard day in the office.
Built at the end of the reign of King George V, this large four bedroom semi-detached family home occupies an elevated position on the chalky foothills of the North Downs, with views across the valley.
Internally, the property comprises four good size bedrooms; family bathroom; two reception rooms; ground floor shower room; kitchen/breakfast room; utility room; and garage. Externally there is drive-way parking for three vehicles; raised flower beds; and an attractive rear garden. The property is double-glazed throughout; has gas-fired central-heating; seamless aluminium guttering; burglar alarm.

What the owner says:
This has been a happy home, well-suited to a large family, with great spaces for entertaining.
Having lived on the south side of Chipstead Valley for 52 years, and in this particular house for 27 years, I am now fast approaching retirement, and looking to escape to the country, hoping that it will be possible to find a new home that has some of the conveniences that have been enjoyed whilst living here, such as:
I can walk to the local train station (Woodmansterne) in seven minutes, where regular commuter services via East Croydon, will get you to the London termini in around 37 minutes, and being within the London travel Area Zone 6, you can use your Oyster card, or, as in my case, your Freedom Pass. Coulsdon South train station has faster services to London; and, in the other direction, to the South Coast via Gatwick Airport.
The 434 bus to Coulsdon, Purley and beyond, will stop right outside the house. It takes me two minutes to walk to the local shopping parade where grocery shops, baker, chemist, dry cleaner, hair dressers, and petrol station, are to be found, as are the bus-stops, where the 166 will take you to Banstead and Epsom in one direction, and Coulsdon, Purley, and Croydon, in the other.
Coulsdon Town offers even more bus routes, and comprehensive shopping facilities, including a Post Office; Library; Aldi supermarket; Boots, and a brand new Waitrose super-store planned for 2017.
Smitham Primary School carries a 'Good' Ofsted Report, whilst Chipstead Valley Primary School carries 'Outstanding' Ofsted Report.
The area enjoys the best of both worlds, being within the Greater London Boundary, yet just minutes away from the countryside. Local open spaces such as Farthing Downs, Coulsdon Common, Happy Valley and Banstead Woods are great places for rambling, dog-walking and picnics.
The locality is well served with several golf courses at Coulsdon Court; Woodcote Park; Chipstead; Surrey Downs; and Kingswood.
The M23/M25 can be reached within a few minutes by car, giving fast access to Gatwick Airport, the South Coast, and the rest of the National motorway network.
