Woodlands Place, CR3

Property Description

What the seller says: "I absolutely love living in my quiet, peaceful house nestled in the forest. The sunshine drifts from left to right across the sunken patio garden and raised terrace - and the views of the trees and the birdsong create a sense of serenity. It's the kind of place where I can exhale deeply and let the world slow down. At the same time, being just a 15-minute walk from the train station gives me the best of both worlds - easy access to the buzz of London or the beauty of the South Coast whenever I fancy a change of pace. The house stays warm in winter and cool in summer, and the night skies here have gifted me some unforgettable stargazing nights over the years. It's the perfect sanctuary for working from home too, with excellent fibre broadband that's never let me down. And it's a joy to host friends and family; a bifold door turns the inside into outside, so eating al fresco happens as soon as temperatures allow. With all the essential shops, schools, doctor, dentist, vets just minutes away in Caterham, it's a place that balances peace, practicality, and connection - and I'm so grateful for the happy years I've spent here." Tucked away at the end of a peaceful close within a small development, this beautifully presented three-bedroom terraced home (built 2008), offers a rare combination of contemporary design, natural surroundings and everyday convenience. Backing directly onto woodland and open countryside within easy reach, the property enjoys a unique sense of privacy and tranquillity, yet remains just minutes from Caterham's town centre, mainline train station and excellent road links via the M25.

Step inside to discover an immaculate interior, thoughtfully extended at the rear to create a bright and spacious open-plan living and dining area, with full-width bi-fold doors flooding the space with light and opening onto a stylish patio and low-maintenance garden. With woodland views, this space is ideal for relaxed entertaining or quiet moments outdoors. The bright, modern kitchen with a small island features a built-in Bosch induction hob, Siemens grill, oven, microwave and a full-size dishwasher. On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower, plus a family shower room. Please note that the current owner replaced the bath with a shower, but a tub can easily be reinstalled if required. On the upper floor, the spacious dual-aspect double bedroom, with views over the Tillingdown countryside at the front and woodland to the rear, creates a real sense of a retreat setting. This is a superb opportunity to secure a stylish home in a family-friendly setting, perfectly placed for commuter convenience and countryside charm. Offering the best of both worlds - less than a mile from Caterham's Town Centre with Waitrose and Morrison supermarkets, as well as many cafes, restaurants and local stores, plus Caterham Train Station for commuting, yet you are also, literally, on the doorstep of woodland walks and open countryside.
