Full Details for 7 Bedroom Detached for sale in Caterham, CR3 :

Dating from just after the turn of the twentieth century in about 1904, Summerhayes is a handsome, detached country residence designed to reflect the Arts and Crafts style of architecture. Taking full advantage of its elevated position and superb views over adjoining countryside, yet within the M25 and approximately just eighteen miles from Central London, the house has imposing external elevations of brick with part timbered and white render under a pitched, clay tiled roof. During the twenty or so years of the present owners' occupation, refurbishment and extension works have been carried out, sympathetically keeping in mind the original architecture yet creating a contemporary twenty first century family home. Accommodation is arranged over four floors with all the principal rooms having large windows or French Doors thereby framing the exceptional views. Period detailing such as exposed timbers, open fires with a variety of surrounds and panelled internal doors with hand crafted ironmongery are complimented by timber floors, contemporary styled bath/shower rooms and double glazed, leaded light windows and doors. Reception rooms are gracious with good ceiling heights and wooden floors. The Drawing Room has exposed ceiling beams and an inglenook fireplace, whilst the Dining Room has a carved Minster stone fireplace and French Doors to the covered veranda/Sun Room and the Sitting Room, which has wall panelling and a brick fireplace. The Kitchen/Breakfast Room is very well laid out and fitted with a comprehensive range of hand crafted maple and burr maple wall and floor mounted cabinetry with Cherrywood detailing and black granite work surfaces. Appliances include a 3 oven gas Aga, Gaggenau oven, steam oven and warming drawer, an induction hob with built in BBQ and steamer, a wine fridge, two dishwashers and Sub Zero larder fridge and larder freezer both with drawers beneath. The casual dining area has commanding views via a pair French Doors which lead out to a terrace. From the Utility Room, stairs lead down to the garden level and into the Family Room/Den, which has access to the air conditioned and fully fitted Wine Room and also has French Doors out to a terrace.
Bedrooms are arranged over the upper two levels with those across the rear having the benefit of the views and most having wooden floors. The Principal Bedroom has a dual aspect, doors out to a private covered Balcony and an En-Suite Bathroom. There are three further double bedrooms with two having En-Suite facilities. The Study is comprehensively furnished with cupboards, shelves and a desk and usefully has an internal staircase to the second Study above on the second floor. Also on the first floor are the family Bathroom and a laundry cupboard housing the domestic machines. The second floor is given over to three further double bedrooms and a Shower Room.
