Located in the residential area of the very desirable Calvert Road, the unusual eyebrow dormer and exposed beams makes for a very unique home which stands out amongst the rest of the houses on this road. Built in the late 1920s, Baronsmead retains many of its original features, including brick fireplaces and panelled doors, while also having undergone recent improvements that blend period features with contemporary style. The layout is flexible, providing ample opportunities to customise the property to suit your preferences and offers over 3,500 feet of spacious accommodation.

From the hallway a door leads into the spacious central dining room with feature fireplace and beautiful wooden floors. This room is full of period charm and could fit a large table and chairs for a formal dining experience with friends and family with doors leading into the living room, the conservatory and kitchen.
The generously sized living room, full of character and charm, features an original fireplace, and boasts triple aspect windows providing views across the wonderful garden. The conservatory accessed through double doors from the dining room, provides stunning triple aspect views over the garden onto Box Hill, this room can be enjoyed all year round with doors that open out on to a raised patio leading down to the garden. The modern kitchen contains a full range of very stylish and bespoke eyelevel and base units, beautiful quartz worktops, integrated appliances and larder storage. The dual aspect original windows look out onto the surrounding views. A side door provides easy access to the garage and gardens. A further reception room is currently used as a study but could easily be repurposed as a snug, playroom, or incorporated into the kitchen for an open-plan layout. The ground floor is completed by a useful cloakroom and storage unit.

A central oak staircase leads to the spacious landing providing access to all accommodation and a sizeable, boarded loft space. This could be converted, subject to planning, should additional room be required. To the rear of the property, the impressive 15'9ft x 15ft master bedroom has ample room for a king size bed as well as free standing furniture and features plenty of built-in storage. This room is filled with natural light and enjoys stunning views overlooking the superb garden and beyond to Box Hill. There are three further generous double bedrooms with built in storage and plenty of period charm. Completing the first-floor accommodation are two very spacious family bathrooms with white three-piece suites and additional storage. The larger of the two bathrooms also boasts a separate shower, perfect for busy week-day mornings.

Outside
Access to the property is via the lychgate which leads to a private driveway providing parking and a large detached garage.
Nestled into the hill, the house is secluded from the road by well-maintained fencing, hedging and mature specimen trees. Stone paving leads directly to the entrance to the property and through to the rear garden. Set on two levels, the 0.4 acre rear garden is a beautiful example of careful planning and expert design, a place where the family can relax, unwind and enjoy the panoramic views and serene setting. Featuring expansive lawns dotted with a selection of mature fruit and ornamental trees and with an array of well stocked borders, the views are unspoilt and provide ample opportunity for further landscaping if desired. The large, paved patio area provides a discreet space to enjoy alfresco dining with friends and family whilst taking in the truly spectacular surrounding views. The garden offers a perfect space to build a separate home office, gym or studio, as many in the road have done.

There is a spacious detached garage with an electric up-and-over door, with a garden room/utility area located to the rear, perfect for storing tools and equipment and which could be converted into a home office.

Descending a short flight of steps opposite the garage, you'll find a large cellar, accessible from the outside. This is a wonderful addition to the property and provides a cool, dark storage space, currently partly used as a wine cellar.
