Location, style & space in Chipstead
When it comes to buying a new home in Chipstead, spacious, beautifully appointed accommodation finished to a superb specification and a location that’s peaceful yet within reach of transport links and amenities are high on the list of any discerning purchaser.
However, finding a property that ticks all the boxes can be tough and compromises often have to be made - until now. At Whytethorne, tucked away in a leafy residential lane on the edge of the charming Surrey Downs village of Chipstead, Millgate Homes has created two stunning new homes that offer all these things – and much more.
With views over the breathtaking downs landscape and a historic village less than a mile distant, you’d be forgiven for forgetting how handily placed you are for commuting to London – by rail, London Bridge is just 40 minutes* away, while by road, central London is about 16 miles** distant. This, combined with the fact that Gatwick International Airport is a mere 10 miles** away, makes these properties ideal for high fliers who want to leave the bustle of the city behind at the end of the day.
The surrounding area offers ample opportunity for leisure, with a wide range of golf clubs including Chipstead Golf Club and Kingswood Golf and Country Club. Horse racing fanatics will delight in the fact that Epsom Downs is within easy striking distance while the downs themselves provide the opportunity for walking, riding or cycling.
Those with children of school age will also relish the fact that these new homes in Chipstead are located within reach of a number of highly regarded schools, both state and independent, including the renowned Epsom College.
While this location is undoubtedly very special, it is easily matched by the scale and sheer quality of the homes that Millgate has created here. Each enjoying their own gated entrance, sweeping gravel drive and elegantly landscaped grounds, the imposing neo-Georgian façades are distinct and give an air of true substance. Inside, these are homes designed with modern lifestyles in mind, making the most of the space afforded by the gently sloping plots they occupy.
Accommodation throughout is generous, flooded with light and designed to suit both family life and entertaining on a grand scale. In a bold break with tradition, ground floor accommodation consists of a huge drawing room with French doors to a balcony that makes the most of the views, a study and en suite guest accommodation.
From the sizeable hallway a staircase leads to the lower ground floor, where the real heart of these homes lie; including an incredible open plan space that encompasses kitchen, family room and formal dining area overlooking the lovely gardens. Here entertaining will naturally flow outside during the summer months, courtesy of three sets of French doors that lead out to the patio. A media room, cloak room and utility room complete the ground floor accommodation.
To the first floors are four further generously proportioned bedrooms, two of which are en suite, and an elegant family bathroom. Add a sublime specification that speaks of sheer opulence and it’s easy to see why Whytethorne has attracted the attentions of a number of discerning visitors from the world of sports and entertainment.
The new homes in Chipstead are priced at £1,750,000 and £1,795,000 respectively. To book your appointment to view the Show Home at Whythorne, which is open Thursday – Monday from 10am – 4pm.
