Property Details

*Guide price £675,000*
This much loved Victorian home, cherished by the same family for over fifty years and three generations, now awaits its next chapter as its owners look forward to a well earned retirement by the coast. Set in one of Warlingham's historic pockets where old meets new, the house offers generous proportions, flexible living and a garden that truly elevates the lifestyle on offer.
The wide, long and level rear garden is a standout feature; a peaceful, secluded haven framed by mature trees along the back boundary. Mostly laid to lawn and beautifully maintained, it includes a large workshop, a summerhouse near the far end, and a magnificent magnolia tree that bursts into life each spring. The garden sits level with the house, creating a natural flow from indoors to out, especially from the large conservatory which opens directly onto a level patio. Here, the kitchen, dining and conservatory spaces merge effortlessly, making it an ideal setting for family gatherings, summer entertaining or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the surroundings.
Inside, the home offers an impressive five double bedrooms, providing exceptional versatility for families of all sizes. One bedroom is located on the ground floor, served by a three piece bathroom and complemented by a convenient separate utility area. The heart of the home is the open plan kitchen/diner, thoughtfully designed with modern conveniences and enhanced by integrated skylights that draw natural light deep into the space; a clever touch given the depth of the house.
On the first floor, three further double bedrooms are accompanied by a second piece bathroom, while the converted lengthy attic provides a fifth double bedroom, ideal for older children, guests or a quiet retreat. The ground floor living room enjoys views across the fields opposite and features a chimney currently fitted with an electric fire, offering potential for a wood burning stove subject to survey and consents. To the rear, the first floor bedroom overlooks the expansive garden, reinforcing the sense of privacy and calm that defines this home.
A particularly valuable feature is the large store/workshop, which has both a front entrance and a side door into the house. Its size and layout offer exciting possibilities; whether retained as a workshop or reimagined as a playroom, TV room, home office or additional living space, subject to the usual permissions.
To the front, the property benefits from a driveway for 2/3 cars, a prized asset so close to the village centre.
This is a home with warmth, history and heart; a place that has served its family well for decades and now offers a rare opportunity for new owners to enjoy its space, charm and enviable location. Sky WiFi for house and Summerhouse.

Warlingham is one of Surrey's most characterful hilltop villages, its name rooted in Old English and believed to derive from the name Waerla after the followers of a likely Anglo-Saxon local leader named Waerla, who once settled on these slopes. Today it remains a place where heritage, community and countryside blend effortlessly, offering a lifestyle that feels both peaceful and well connected.
Across the road is Mint Walk (pictured here) leading to the children's play park and Eglise Road (also pictured here) is yards away with free on street parking.
From Farleigh Road, the heart of village life is a short stroll and the Horseshoe, a family pub overlooking Warlingham Green, perfect for relaxed weekend meals or an early evening drink after a day in the City. A little further, the Harrow Inn offers classic English pub dining with a rural backdrop; in summer, horses graze in the adjoining fields, giving the area a timeless, pastoral charm. Warlingham village provides everything needed for day to day living, including food stores, cafés, independent shops, a florist, and the essential 403 bus service to central Croydon. For commuters, Upper Warlingham station is a six minute drive to the station car park and direct trains to London Victoria and London Bridge in under 40 minutes (the route: https://maps.app.goo.gl/mayoLWqoGuL9bRHW6) Nature and green space are central to the lifestyle here. Within a short drive are riding centres for both adults and children, offering lessons and livery in beautiful countryside settings. For those who love the outdoors, the North Downs and Box Hill (famously part of the 2012 Olympic cycling route) are within easy reach for weekend hikes, cycling or scenic picnics.
History enthusiasts will appreciate being only 15 minutes from Westerham, the charming village associated with Sir Winston Churchill. His former home, Chartwell, is open for much of the year, with sweeping views across the Weald of Kent and beautifully maintained gardens that make for an inspiring day out.
Families are exceptionally well served by schools. A minute's walk (https://maps.app.goo.gl/k8fBgQ54FBcDehiZ9) to Warlingham Village primary warlinghamvillage.org OFSTED Outstanding in all Categories, Warlingham Secondary and Collegiate, around a five minute drive or bus ride away. The area also offers a wide range of sports clubs, including Warlingham Rugby Club once home to England captain Chris Robshaw as well as cricket, football and squash clubs, ensuring plenty of weekend activities for all.
Dining options are varied and welcoming, from well regarded Italian and Turkish restaurants in the village to classic English pub food at the Horse Shoe and Harrow Inn. For easy midweek suppers, the local fish and chip shop remains a firm favourite.
Warlingham is surrounded by some of Surrey's most beautiful walking country, with the highly rated Selsdon Wood Nature Reserve (with its own car park on Old Farleigh Road) just five minutes away by car via the Harrow Inn a favourite among local families and dog walkers for its peaceful woodland paths, meadows and seasonal bluebells. The full trail can be viewed on All Trails here: https://tinyurl.com/NT-Selsdon view on our website brochure. From gentle circular strolls to longer weekend rambles, the area offers an exceptional outdoor lifestyle right on the doorstep.
This is a place where you can finish a busy week in London and be enjoying a drink in a pub garden within minutes, walk the dog across open fields, take the children to the playground, pick up everything you need from the local Sainsbury's, or simply enjoy the space and charm of home. It is quintessential Surrey village living, yet only around 3/4 hour door to door from central London. It's this rare combination: village tranquillity and easy commute making Warlingham so special. Free parking 20 yards from 72 Farleigh Rd in Eglise Rd.
