7 bedroom house

Believed to date from the early twentieth century, Kilmington is a large detached property, which has evolved over the intervening years and now provides the potential for flexible family living, multi-generational living as well as working from home. In a private and secluded position, energy saving devices have been installed such as solar panels and a Scandinavian Jaspi renewable heating system, along with some under floor heating and an integrated sound system. There are tiled floors on the ground level and exposed brick walls in the reception hall with the principal sitting room enjoying a triple aspect, decorative ceiling beams, an enclosed fire and sliding doors to the garden, whilst the kitchen is fully fitted with integrated appliances. Elsewhere on the ground floor is a dining room, which has a wood burning stove and exposed brick walls, a playroom, a fitted office and a utility/boot room. There is also an indoor Pool room / Conservatory – at present the pool is covered over but easily restored if desired. The Conservatory links through to the annexes which provide guest / relative accommodation or as an income generator. On the first floor there are five bedrooms, supported by two bathrooms and one en-suite to the principal bedroom.

Outside

The house is approached via a gravelled private drive, which leads to a large paved parking area and a detached double garage. There are a number of store rooms/sheds and extensive terracing around the house including one with a pergola over which wisteria rambles in the spring and summer. Gardens have colourful herbaceous borders and areas of level lawn, along with mature trees and hedges and an outdoor pool area – covered over but again easily restored if required. For those that like something a little different, the rear garden has a mini railway network with track, station / workshop and trains (subject to separate negotiation). There is also a Paddock, (currently where Willow is grown for fuel), but could be used for equine purposes if desired (mains water installed)

Situation

The property is located in an attractive setting on a private road considered to be one of the most sought after in the locality. With an active community, Woldingham continues to be a highly prized location and enjoys various local sports clubs including tennis and cricket and a well-stocked village shop with Post Office. There are two golf clubs nearby – North Downs and The Woldingham – along with many rambling walks crisscrossing the North Downs. The choice in schooling is superb and include local schools such as Woodlea Junior School and Woldingham School for girls, as well as being well placed for schools in Oxted – Oxted County School and Hazlewood Preparatory School – Caterham School and the Croydon schools – Whitgift, Croydon High School for Girls and Trinity. Oxted town centre is approximately four miles away and has an excellent range of supermarkets, boutiques, antique shops along with cafes and restaurants, an Everyman cinema and a leisure centre.
