Wallfield Park, Reigate, RH2

Within a short walk of all the vibrant town of Reigate has to offer, yet set within the elegance of a gated, private estate, a detached house of quality, enjoying generous, private landscaped gardens. Wallfield Park is a fine, private estate laid out over approximately three acres of communal parkland, which encompasses a handsome nineteenth century mansion converted into gracious apartments together with a few contemporary, detached homes. One such is situated in a discreet, tucked away position and approached by its own private gated drive. With architecture very much a contemporary take on the classical designs of the renaissance architect Palladio, the double-fronted exteriors are of pale stucco with a central pediment and large, double-glazed windows. Internally the accommodation is arranged over two floors and extends to approximately 2,809 square feet. The windows perfectly frame the outlook over the gardens and allow for an abundance of natural light to flood through to the sitting and family rooms. Features include high ceilings, underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and bath/shower rooms, an intelligent lighting system as well as hard-wiring for internet access. The ground floor is given over to a bright sitting/family room with a dual aspect including French doors out to the rear garden and a fireplace with an elegant marble surround, whilst the study is to the side. With cabinetry by the renowned designer Poggenpohl, the kitchen/Kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with contemporary style wall and base units and a large central island with integrated appliances by Gaggenau which opens through to a substantial dining room. Access is also provided to the useful utility room. Arranged over the upper level are five excellent bedrooms, supported by three bathrooms, two of which are en-suite. The principal bedroom has fabulous views, a dressing area with wall to wall fitted wardrobes and a large en-suite bathroom with separate shower. One of the remaining four bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom with additional shower and would make an idea gust room.

Outside

Approached via pair of painted, estate style wrought-iron gates opening on to the wide, graveled parking and turning area in front to the house, the gardens are extend around the property with mature hedging to the boundaries and a gate on to the communal grounds. There are various herbaceous borders planted and level lawns. Terracing traverses the rear of the house which is ideal for enjoying the views and outdoor entertaining. In addition to the private garden, the house has access to the estate’s communal gardens.
