Full Details for 7 Bedroom Detached for sale in Warlingham, CR6 :

Full description

OVERVIEW An impressive Victorian detached house believed to date back to late 1886 along with the later addition of a substantial double storey extension. The accommodation, (approx 4530 sq ft) is arranged over three floors plus a cellar. The current owners have retained period detailing including the magnificent original fireplace in the drawing room, working servant's bells, high ceilings throughout, picture rails and bespoke cornicing to many of the rooms. The original front door is still in place with its coloured glass leaded panels which is a lovely touch along with the original working doorbell. 

SITUATION The Chestnuts has a fabulous setting as it fronts on to Farleigh Common yet is set back some way from the nearest road. The property also enjoys a far reaching outlook over the fields to the rear. Nearby there are many woodland walks and bridleways with easy access to a good riding area. Warlingham Green, only a short drive away, has plenty of good quality local shops, a large supermarket, pubs and restaurants. There are local bus routes on the doorstep and the property sits equidistant from two mainline railway stations; East Croydon & Upper Warlingham.
