Situated within one of Redhill’s highly regarded private cul-de-sacs, this fabulous family home occupies one of the widest plots in the road, offering significant potential for extension to both sides and the rear. This wonderful three-bedroom detached property has been thoroughly enjoyed as a fabulous family home by our client for the past 25 years (check?). The well-presented accommodation is arranged over two floors and now offers scope for modernisation and extension.
As soon as you step over the threshold, you immediately feel at home in the spacious hallway, which still retains several original character features, including an ornate plate rail, decorative panelling, and oak flooring. The good-sized living room enjoys a fantastic bay window and a feature fireplace with double-opening glazed doors that lead into the dining room. This well-proportioned room has a lovely aspect over the garden. The fitted kitchen has a range of oak wall and base units with ample workspace, an integrated oven with extractor, and space for a fridge and dishwasher. Upstairs, there are three good-sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom has a square bay window, a picture rail, and a range of fitted wardrobes. The second bedroom also benefits from a range of modern fitted wardrobes. Many of the properties within the street have extended into the loft, creating a number of extra bedrooms or a luxurious suite (STP)
