Alpine Road, Redhill £495,000

Hunter & Company are delighted to offer this pretty, chocolate box, two-bedroom detached period cottage, located on a popular residential road, close to shops, schools and less than a mile to Redhill mainline station.

As far as locations go, this will take a lot to beat. Positioned along Alpine Road, amongst similar 19th Century homes and tucked away in a quiet spot. The property has been modernised by the current owners and in our opinion is presented in immaculate condition.

On the ground floor, there is a large, bright bay-fronted living room with an exposed brick feature fireplace and an ever-popular wood-burning stove. Our favourite part about this room is the built-in alcove storage and colour scheme. The dining room / open plan kitchen is a great space with plenty of shaker-style floor and wall units as well as a range of integrated and freestanding appliances. Finished in classic off-white with solid wood worktops and a butler's sink. There is also a large under-stairs cupboard, ideal for keeping smaller appliances hidden and out of the way. There is a door leading through to the study area and utility room. The Study could easily be used as a playroom and the utility has been well fitted with space for freestanding appliances under a solid wood worktop and also a low-level WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, the larger one faces the front with on-trend panelling to one wall, exposed brick chimney breast and plenty of space for a chest of drawers and built-in wardrobes. The second double faces the back of the property and has a large built-in cupboard and on-trend panelling on one wall. The refitted family bathroom has a white three-piece suite and is neutrally decorated for any taste. The main features are the luxurious freestanding bath and separate double shower cubicle with rainfall shower head. Another key addition to the property is the fitted wooden shutters to all principal rooms, giving a timeless feel to this beautiful house.

In the loft, there is a lot of floor space with the potential to extend, along with the ground floor, into further accommodation subject to the usual building regulations and permission.

Outside, the rear garden is mainly lawn with a patio area, established flower beds and is enclosed by fencing. There is access to the front and a useful garden shed.

Several schools located nearby include St Matthew's C of E Primary School, St Joseph's Catholic Primary School and Lime Tree Primary School. For those with older children, there is Carrington School (formerly The Warwick School), St Bede's School, Royal Alexandra and Albert School and East Surrey College.

Local transport links are excellent with regular train and bus services to London Victoria and London Bridge, Gatwick Airport, the West and the South Coast. Access to both the M23 and M25 is within a 15-minute drive providing great road links to London, Brighton and the South and London Airports.

Redhill has recently undergone a couple of multimillion-pound redevelopment schemes including the reopening of the Memorial Park, a two-storey Sainsbury’s supermarket with Travelodge hotel and gym above as well as the new Marketfield Way scheme to include a multi-screen cinema, retail and residential units.

Nearby, Reigate is a bustling market town providing a comprehensive range of local shops, independent boutiques and high-end retailers. There is a great variety of restaurants and coffee shops including; Côte, Wagamama, Pizza Express, Café Rouge and The Black Horse Brasserie to name a few. Reigate also boasts several good schools, state and independent, for all ages. These include Reigate Parish Church Primary School, Reigate Grammar, Micklefield Primary, Holmesdale Primary, Dunottar School, Reigate Priory and Reigate Secondary.
