A CHARMING ATTACHED RESIDENCE IN A MUCH SOUGHT-AFTER AND IDYLLIC LOCATION ON REIGATE HEATH- PLANNING PERMISSION GRANTED TO EXTEND AT FIRST FLOOR LEVELThis charming attached residence is enviably located on Reigate Heath, surrounded by open countryside and nearby opportunities for walking, cycling, golfing and horseriding. Currently arranged on one level, The Old Barn formerly served as a barn, coach and cowshed to Trumpets Hill House, having been converted to a residential dwelling in the 1920s with later additions. A testament to the property's appeal is its having served the current owner as a family property for some twenty years, now offering a unique opportunity for the new owner to create a wonderful home set in beautiful mature grounds. At the heart of this home, the impressively proportioned drawing room features parquet flooring and a log burning stove, providing a superb sociable central area which benefits from an extended dining room space flooded with natural light from the roof lantern and bi-folding doors to the rear patio. The accommodation further comprises two double bedrooms, the larger of which has an ensuite shower room, walk-in dressing room, storage and study area, a kitchen with separate utility room, shower room, sauna and WC. Permission has been granted to create additional first floor accommodation to include two bedrooms and a bathroom. Electrics have already been put in place in preparation. Plans have been drawn up to show a possible reconfiguration of the ground floor to provide a fifth bedroom if required (Ref 25/00331/HHOLD). Approached via electronic gates, a gravel driveway provides ample parking and turning for several vehicles in front of the main house and garage/ workshop. To the rear are well-tended mature grounds, providing a wonderful leafy outlook from the house and incorporating an expansive lawn, well-stocked beds and established trees and shrubs. A garden store and separate summer house (with power) provide storage and an opportunity for homeworking or for use as a gym. In all the grounds extend to approximately 0.79 of an acre. The property is positioned in the highly sought after area of Reigate Heath, close to the Reigate Heath Golf Club and away from the bustle of this busy market town. The property benefits from an unspoilt outlook over the large sloped rear garden and with its neighbouring properties which once all formed a part of the Trumpets Hill Estate. Reigate Town centre is conveniently located just to the north east and is very well served with a number of high quality individual and mainstream shops, cafes and popular restaurants. Reigate Heath is a wonderful space of open countryside ideal for the walking, riding and golfing enthusiast and the Skimmington Castle, which is a much loved country inn, is just a short distance away. There are fast and regular commuter services from Reigate station and also from Redhill mainline station to Victoria and Waterloo.
