Intriguing and striking family home with glorious views set in about 3.5 acres in an unspoilt rural setting .........
Peverel is a wonderful family home of great style and character, commissioned in 1936, by a German architect – Mr Frederick Curtis and is listed in Pevsner architectural guides: Buildings of England. The property, which has been in the same family ownership since 1952 is situated in a special and elevated position on the outskirts of Leigh – having commanding views over its own grounds and the unspoilt surrounding countryside with wonderful far-reaching views to the east towards Box Hill and the North Downs and to the west towards Leith Hill and the Surrey Hills. The well-balanced accommodation, which would now benefit from some updating, is excellently proportioned, arranged conventionally over two floors and briefly comprises a large and inviting reception hall with original parquet flooring, a cloakroom, large double aspect study, charming drawing room with open fire and separate dining room – both the main reception rooms enjoy a delightful southerly orientation over the grounds. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room has an array of fitted cupboards and from the kitchen there is access to various domestic rooms including original coal store, boot room, utility room, store room and garden room.
To the first floor, the excellently proportioned landing makes for a lovely feature and provides access to the five bedrooms and two bathrooms with separate w.c.’s. All of the bedrooms have built in wardrobes and bedroom four access to a balcony, where one can take advantage of the glorious views.
The grounds, which offer a great degree of seclusion are a prime feature of the property and very much in keeping with Peverel having been developed over many years with well-tended lawns together with established trees and hedging and well stocked borders and an orchard. There is sun terrace with open loggia immediately adjacent to the property with direct access from all of the principal ground floor rooms and making for a great al-fresco/entertaining area designed to take advantage of the views and sunshine. The stable block is conveniently located close to the property and comprises 2 stables and a tack room, whilst close by to the north an adjacent 2-acre paddock has both pedestrian access from the curtilage of the property and independent vehicular access from Shellwood Road. The paddock also enjoys fine North Downs views. Peverel itself is set back from Shellwood Road and is approached by electric gates, with a long driveway, terminating in an extensive parking area to the front of the house and double attached garage. In all, the grounds extend to approximately 3.5 acres.
