MATURE FAMILY HOME IS IN A PRIVATE YET HIGHLY CONVENIENT SETTING WITH OUTSTANDING VIEWS.....................

Kelvin Lodge is an attractive and distinctive detached family home, built in the post war period in a traditional style, set in its own delightful gardens and surrounded by remarkable views over Denbies Vineyard and beyond to Ranmore and Box Hill – forming part of the North Downs. Kelvin Lodge has been tastefully enhanced and improved over the years to an excellent standard by the current owners to offer well-proportioned and versatile accommodation, featuring a superb and welcoming reception hall, which leads to the cloakroom and all of the principal rooms. The two formal receptions rooms are both triple aspect allowing for an abundance of light, with the dining room leading up to the most impressive drawing room, with a large centrepiece wood burning stove and substantial picture window, where one can enjoy the magnificent views. The kitchen/breakfast room is centrally positioned to the rear of the property and is very much the ‘heart of the home’, comprehensively equipped with high quality kitchen furniture, with integrated appliances, AGA and complimented by granite and oak worksurfaces. There are patio doors that flow out to the substantial terrace. From the kitchen/breakfast room and hall there is access to the family room, which could be used for a variety of purposes including a first class study, whilst there is also a separate utility room. To the first floor, there is a spacious landing with a fine aspect over the front garden and the field beyond, which extends to some 10 acres and is in the ownership of some of the residents of Keppel Road (including Kelvin Lodge) and Yew Tree Road. The share held by Kelvin Lodge will transfer to the new owners. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms enjoy fabulous outlooks. The main bedroom is triple aspect with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower, whilst there are, four further well-proportioned bedrooms served by two modern bathrooms, there is under floor heating to all the bathrooms and cloakroom. There is also a further sitting room, with independent access, this part of the house has potential, if so desired, to create an annex or self-contained accommodation. Kelvin Lodge has a wonderful bright and airy feel, thanks to the amount of windows and a number of the rooms enjoying a double or triple aspect. The grounds of Kelvin Lodge are a particularly attractive feature and have been well-kept over many years, affording a high degree
of privacy and seclusion. There is a substantial Indian sandstone sun terrace, running the full width of the property and makes for a perfect seating area or al fresco entertaining, where one can revel at the most extraordinary views. From the terrace, there are steps down to a further seating area and the gardens are then predominately laid to the lawn with a range of established flowerbeds and borders. There is a kitchen garden and a summer house with power. To the front of the property, there is a shingle driveway providing parking, turning and leading to the integral garage, with remote controlled electric doors, which also offers integral access to the property via the utility room. In all, the grounds extend to 0.63 of an acre.
