The Tour

Approaching the house, the front garden offers a leafy and private entryway, with newly paved flooring that complements the lush planting. The front door opens into a spacious hallway, where original Victorian tiles bring warmth and colour, guiding the eye toward the main living areas. A utility room and a separate WC on this floor feature vintage tilework, with walls finished in Farrow & Ball’s ‘Setting Plaster’ shade.
At the front of the home lies a double reception room, flooded with light through a large bay window. Built-in birch ply shelving and cabinetry frame the white-painted fireplace, while engineered oak flooring with underfloor heating adds comfort. The original cornicing and a ceiling rose have been expertly replicated, enhancing the room’s character. A Velfac door connects this room to a paved courtyard, offering seamless access to the kitchen.
Towards the rear, the kitchen and dining area open into a charming conservatory that functions as a secondary living space. The kitchen retains its original pale green tiles around the stove, paired with modern ply cabinetry that includes a breakfast bar with seating. An additional dining nook is situated in the side return, where built-in bench seating overlooks the garden through large glass panes. Overhead, reclaimed oak beams from French chateaux add a rustic touch.

The conservatory features reclaimed parquet flooring from Cambridge University, with French doors that open directly into the garden. This thoughtful layout fosters a sense of continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces, creating a serene spot to enjoy the changing
seasons.

Sisal-carpeted stairs lead up to the first floor, home to three bedrooms. The rear and middle bedrooms feature the same sisal carpeting, while the front bedroom is finished with new herringbone parquet flooring, complete with underfloor heating. Lighting throughout is by Flos, and all paint is sourced from Farrow & Ball, except for the white accents.
The front bedroom includes an en suite wet room, while a spacious family bathroom on this floor has been designed with Tadelakt for a calm and luxurious feel. The bathroom features a built-in bathtub and a walk-in shower that doubles as a steam room. A separate WC next to the bathroom has bespoke lime plaster walls.

On the top floor, the main suite is a secluded retreat, featuring walls and ceilings finished in exposed plaster that beautifully complements the reclaimed parquet flooring. Two skylights and a large picture window allow natural light to flood in, with the picture window offering panoramic views extending to the Surrey Hills AONB. A built-in birch ply desk in the landing area provides a perfect office nook, and there is an en-suite wet room in the main bedroom.

The south-facing garden is a peaceful haven, with a fully insulated studio at the rear. This studio, previously used as a music space, is soundproofed with professional-grade insulation and features stone floor tiles and exterior cladding in reclaimed timber, making it suitable as an office or yoga retreat. The garden itself is lush with climbing roses that drape over the wooden fencing, filling the air with fragrance during the warmer months. There is a generous lawn and a paved area that seamlessly extends the indoor living space.
