Ridlands Lane, Oxted, RH8

The house is situated on a quiet road within the highly sought-after village of Limpsfield Chart, which is surrounded by the lovely National Trust land of Limpsfield Common, affording excellent access to footpaths from the doorstep. The semi-detached house was built in the 1940s and has been extensively improved throughout, including an extension, new kitchen and bath/shower rooms, zonal underground heating and updated cosmetic décor, making it ready to move into and personalised by the new owners. The neutral colour palette throughout provides a great backdrop for further updates, and there’s scope to extend into the loft to create additional bedrooms (subject to obtaining the necessary consents). The ground floor feels wonderfully light and airy, with an open plan design creating great flow between the living and dining areas and the kitchen. Vast ‘pocket’ doors fitted with bespoke electric smart blinds, when slid into the wall, seamlessly open up access to the garden creating a stunning open space that’s great for entertaining in the summer months.

Families will find plenty of space within the home, which opens onto the entrance hall leading to the open plan living area and kitchen which spans the rear of the house; the kitchen features premium NEFF integrated appliances and a Quooker boiling water tap. There’s also a separate home office, a cloakroom and a generous utility room for laundry machines. Upstairs there are four bedrooms including a principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, and a separate family bathroom.

Outside

There’s plenty of parking to the front on a gravel driveway, which has space for several cars. A side gate opens to the rear garden which is south facing and backs onto the village allotments. The garden is attractively landscaped and features a good-size patio, lawn, a variety of trees and shrubs and a detached tool shed and adjacent workshop at the rear, all enclosed by wooden panel fencing.
