This very lovely home is an 18th century rebuilding of an older timber-framed house and has a Tudor style, with a number of character features including partially tile-hung elevations, exposed beams, a vast inglenook fireplace inset with a wood-burning stove and sash windows. The house enjoys an idyllic setting to the south of Reigate, situated opposite Priory Park and its attractive pond, with the town allotments on one side, over which there are very charming views towards the North Downs. The cottage is very charming inside and out and has been recently updated in 2022 with a modern kitchen and shower room and neutral interiors which could be easily personalised.
The accommodation extends to about 660 sq ft over two floors, comprising a sitting room, kitchen and shower room on the ground floor, and two bedrooms upstairs. Within the grounds there is a summerhouse and a garden studio/office which offers additional flexibility.
Outside
There is off-street parking to the front on the gravel driveway and a lovely, well established garden enveloping the house, which is stocked with a wide variety of flowers after landscaping in 2023. Keen gardeners will appreciate the setting adjoining the Park Lane allotments (plots available by reservation via the council), over which there are attractive views from an elevated terrace.
Situation
Park Lane is a prestigious road situated to the south of Reigate town centre opposite Priory Park, where there is a playground, skate park, pond and footpaths. The property is 0.3 miles from the centre of Reigate where there is a thriving town atmosphere and a mainline station with frequent services to London Victoria in about 40 minutes. Local schools include Reigate Grammar, Parish Primary and Reigate College, in addition to the popular Royal Alexandra & Albert School. The M25 and M23 are within easy reach providing connections to London, the South Coast and the wider motorway network, whilst Gatwick airport is around six miles distant.
