6 Bed Detached House For Sale Westhall Park, Warlingham, CR6

Set in a prime location on a sought-after road within walking distance of Warlingham Green and Upper Warlingham station, a handsome, detached house with spacious accommodation in excess of 3,640sq ft. (excluding garaging). Constructed in 1909 in the Arts and Crafts style, the house has characterful external elevations typical of the period with painted render and tile hanging to the first floor, under a tall, pitched tiled roof. Sympathetically refurbished by the present owners, a great deal of care has been taken to preserve and maintain the wonderful period detailing, whilst at the same time ensuring the presentation and infrastructure appeals to twenty-first century living. Among the many features are the oak framed, leaded light windows with secondary glazing, herringbone parquet flooring, a variety of fireplace styles, original internal doors and door furniture, high ceilings with coving and picture rails, along with wall panelling. The decorative style is one of elegant simplicity, which perfectly complements the Arts and Crafts principals. Accommodation is laid out over two floors and include gracious receptions rooms which are arranged off a wide and welcoming reception hall with a handsome brick fireplace with period inset stove, painted wall panelling and a wall-to-wall window seat with storage under. The drawing room is a large and bright room, enjoying a triple aspect with views to the front and rear gardens, wood block flooring and a handsome, inglenook style fireplace along with bench seating to both sides. This room has been set up as a screening room with the addition of a projector and retractable screen. The family room also has painted wall panelling, herringbone flooring and an imposing fireplace with a coal effect gas fire. The herringbone flooring extends through to the dining room, which has bi-folding doors to the rear and is open to the kitchen/breakfast room, separated only by a fireplace. With contemporary style wall and floor cabinetry and a large central island, the kitchen area is fitted with integrated appliances by Siemens including down draft ventilation to the induction hob, two dishwashers and a hot water tap by Quooker. An easy rising staircase leads to the landing on the first floor, where there are five/six bedrooms, serviced by three bath/shower rooms. The principal suite is marvellously indulgent and has two walk-in closets and an en suite bathroom with separate shower cabinet. Elsewhere are five further bedrooms - one currently used as a study – and the family bathroom.
