Holmwood is a detached chalet-style bungalow, set on a well-established and elevated position with: Fully equipped, detached home-office, observatory and log cabin within private grounds. It is situated in the highly sought-after Harestone Valley area of Caterham, close to the prestigious Caterham School.

Holmwood, 72 Weald Way offers an opportunity to acquire a four bedroom, detached, chalet-style bungalow, occupying an idyllic setting backing onto woodland and set in approximately 1.3 acres of well-established and secluded grounds. There are various outbuildings, including a large fully-equipped and insulated home-office with power, lighting, air-conditioning, (fibre to cabinet) broadband, a wood-burning stove and cloakroom. It is conveniently located just outside the main building, making it perfect for someone who works from home.

The property is situated in a prestigious area close to the renowned Caterham Independent School. It is approached via a driveway at street level which leads to two separate garages; there is off-road parking for four cars. A pathway provides easy access to a secluded, level, lawned terrace with paved pathway leading to the main residence, home office and a timber decked seating area with hot tub; a wonderful, spacious area for entertaining and relaxing.

The main residence is accessed via an enclosed entrance porch and consists of three good-sized reception rooms, a fully-fitted kitchen overlooking and leading to the rear garden, a separate utility room and downstairs bathroom, together with two ground floor bedrooms and a large family bathroom.

On the first floor are two further bedrooms and a separate shower room, ideal for a growing family with teenage children or visitors who need their own space, including an eaves storage cupboard and large loft space which offers further potential for extension subject to planning permission.

The outbuildings, which include a pantry, offer ample space and storage suitable for workshops and gardening tool storage and are equipped with power and lighting. There are also wooden timber sheds for more basic storage scattered around the gardens.

The current vendors have designed and hand-built a detached, wooden, observatory which is accessed via a large summer house equipped with twin sun-decks, power, lighting, broadband and its own water supply. Steps lead to a raised observation platform with a reinforced concrete pier to rigidly support a substantial telescope. The domed observatory roof can be rotated, allowing the window to align with the scope for clear observation of astronomical objects either via eyepiece or for astrophotography.

Another appealing feature is the log cabin located toward the rear of the plot, The Stables, surrounded by its own wooden timber decked terrace has ample space for table and chairs front and rear and enjoys stunning, panoramic views over Harestone Valley. The cabin has a covered entrance with courtesy light and wooden front door leading to an entrance lobby with mat-well, door to wet-room style shower with copper fittings and shower-head, ceramic sink and WC. There is a bedroom area with fitted double bed and wall storage units with shelving, copper radiator, double-glazed window to rear and opening to a kitchen/living room which is a double-aspect room with range of floor-mounted kitchen units with worktops and stainless-steel sink and drainer with mixer tap, four ring stainless-steel Calor gas hob, and an electric oven with grill. Wired broadband internet access is available. The cabin is fully insulated with double-glazed windows and under-floor heating and is designed to be used all year round, being constructed by a master builder who has built log cabins and chalets high in the French Alps.

The gardens are a mixture of sloping and level lawned areas with flower beds stocked with a variety of plants, a small orchard of mature apple trees and shrubs that back on to private woodland owned by the Caterham School but made available to the local public for dog walking and rambling. The popular View Point is located close by, which is one of the highest points in the South East with stunning views all the way down to the Sussex coast on a clear and sunny day.

The Current Owners say:

Living here for the past twenty years has been tremendous because of the extended lifestyle: The sun-filled days, working in the home-office (zero commuting time) with sunshine pouring in through the skylights, sitting on the decks on lazy weekends and relaxing in the hot-tub in the midday sunshine! Countless barbeques with family and friends and hot-tubbing in the snow under starry skies! Snowy winters and snug Christmases with the woodburning stoves providing warmth and that wonderful woodsmoke smell. There is a great sense of space, homeliness and security here.

At Holmwood you really get to be aware of the change of the seasons.

We have done much to improve Holmwood over the years but it is now time to pass the baton on to others who can enjoy its unique features and who can take it to the next phase.
