5 bedroom detached house for sale

Dating back to 1909, Forest Lodge is one of the original homes constructed on the prestigious private Kingswood Estate. This exceptional Edwardian residence is rich in charm and character and has been beautifully finished and furnished in a manner that respects and reflects its history. From top to bottom, the house proudly embraces and symbolises its Edwardian roots. The property has been owned by only two families over the past sixty years and is approached via an impressive long gravel driveway, providing generous parking. Set within stunning, secluded grounds, the gardens wrap around the house and feature a large formal lawn, complemented by mature planting and well-established borders. The house opens into a spacious entrance hall, from which three elegant and characterful reception rooms flow. Each features a fireplace and enjoys direct access to the beautiful south-west facing terrace and gardens. The contemporary kitchen-breakfast room is fitted with integrated appliances and is supported by a separate utility room. A sweeping staircase rises to the split-level first-floor landing where the principal bedroom suite enjoys lovely views over the gardens. The guest bedrooms are all generously proportioned and include built-in wardrobes. Two further well-sized bedrooms are also located on this floor, along with a fitted family bathroom and a separate WC. A further staircase leads to the second floor, which hosts a spacious double bedroom with an en-suite shower room. Several large storage rooms are also found on this level, offering excellent potential for future conversion. The delightful grounds include a formal south-west facing lawn, well-stocked borders and a wisteria-clad balcony that provides a sheltered seating area. Forest Lodge occupies a prime position just a short walk from Kingswood village, which offers an excellent selection of shops, salons, restaurants and the popular Kingswood Arms. There is a wide choice of well-regarded state and independent primary and secondary schools within easy reach. Kingswood Golf Club is close by, along with Walton Heath Golf Club and the RAC Golf and Country Club on nearby Epsom Downs.
