5 Bedroom Detached House, The Mount, Warlingham, CR6

Tucked away within a peaceful cul-de-sac and approached via an impressive gated driveway, this remarkable double-fronted detached residence—believed to date back to circa 1889—exudes timeless elegance and historic charm. Thoughtfully refurbished over the years, the property now offers over 4,000 sq ft of beautifully balanced accommodation, seamlessly blending period character with refined modern comfort.

Upon passing through the pillared entrance, the home immediately commands attention. The grand reception hall provides a superb first impression, with intricate stained glass windows, herringbone woodblock flooring and a welcoming log burner that creates a sense of warmth and sophistication.

The ground floor accommodation is both impressive and versatile. The 28-foot double-aspect reception room, affectionately known as The Blue Room, forms a stunning centrepiece of the home, complete with elegant period detailing and direct access to a charming terrace—perfect for relaxed entertaining and indoor-outdoor living. Adjacent lies The Green Room, another beautifully proportioned reception space enjoying dual aspects and abundant natural light. A separate study, currently arranged as a cinema room, features a distinctive wood-panelled ceiling, adding to the property’s rich character and individuality.

The well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room offers a generous and practical family space, fitted with bespoke cabinetry, integrated appliances, and direct access to the rear garden. A useful utility room and two guest cloakrooms complete the ground floor accommodation, ensuring both comfort and convenience.

The galleried first floor continues to impress, with a spacious principal bedroom suite enjoying built-in wardrobes, a luxurious en-suite double shower room, and French doors opening onto a delightful balcony that provides far-reaching views over the surrounding landscape. Four further double bedrooms provide excellent family accommodation, with two sharing a stylish “Jack and Jill” bathroom and both featuring walk-in dressing rooms. A contemporary family bathroom and a separate WC serve the remaining bedrooms.

The landscaped rear garden forms a tranquil and private retreat, elevated to provide magnificent panoramic views.
