Description

This is a unique opportunity to become the custodian of a small piece of Reigate history. According to records on Historic England, Old Sweeps House originally dates back to c1360, with the original home comprising two bays of an aisle timbered hall house, that was added to and has evolved through the centuries to the home that exists today. The property is Grade II* listed and is marked as a Building of Special Interest. This home has been in the same ownership since 1959 when it was saved from demolition by the current owners and beautifully restored to a family home.

This home is surrounded by beautiful walled, cottage gardens that have been carefully designed and planted to optimise the use of these charming spaces. This fabulous home provides a comfortable blend of these historic character details within the modern practical layout of this family home and gardens . The accommodation in the main house is approximately 2,216 Sq ft with a further 246 sq ft in the double garage.

On the ground floor the pretty front entrance leads into a good sized entrance hall. The large front living room is double aspect and has a feature fireplace. There is also a separate dining room and a snug/family room at the rear. The kitchen is large enough for a separate dining area and is located at the rear of the house, leading out onto terrace at the rear where there is access to the double garage. There is also a separate WC on this level.

On the first floor the principal bedroom has a fabulous vaulted ceiling with a crownpost roof, and leads to an en suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms on this level, along with the family bathroom.

The surrounding walled gardens are a beautiful feature of this home. Each outdoor space has been carefully planned and planted, with a charming doorway that reveals each space as you move around the outside of the house. The walled front garden is South West facing and offers an abundance of summer colour created by renowned designer Nic Howard. In fact it is the perfect spot to relax, peacefully just moments from the very heart of the town.
