Tydcombe Road, Warlingham CR6

Occupying an elevated position on one of the area’s most prestigious roads, this beautifully appointed home enjoys sweeping panoramic views to the south, stretching across the valley, Woldingham, and the golf course. Set in a highly convenient location, it combines timeless elegance with modern flexibility, offering a subtle architectural nod to the Arts and Crafts movement. Carefully extended and upgraded, it blends period character with contemporary design, resulting in a home of exceptional comfort and style.

The glazed entrance lobby provides an impressive first impression, drawing the eye straight through the house to the sweeping countryside views beyond. This architectural openness continues throughout the home, creating a sense of light, flow and grandeur from the outset. The reception hall is striking in its scale and detail, with intricate cornicing, a grand staircase rising to the first floor, a coats cupboard, and bi-folding doors opening onto the garden. A well-appointed cloakroom sits off the hallway, with a Sanitan wash basin and low-level WC. The main living spaces are generous, bright and versatile—designed for both everyday comfort and elegant entertaining. The family room enjoys tiled floors, underfloor heating, and bi-folding doors to the rear, creating a seamless connection with the garden. The adjacent kitchen/breakfast room is a standout feature, fitted with a handcrafted Mark Wilkinson kitchen with maple cabinetry, granite worktops, and a suite of premium Miele appliances including a gas hob, double oven, microwave, and dishwasher. A built-in drinks fridge adds further convenience. A central island incorporates a wine cooler and second sink, while full-width bi-fold doors stretch across the rear elevation, allowing the views to take centre stage. To the side of the kitchen is a dedicated utility area, also finished with Mark Wilkinson cabinetry and offering extensive floor-to-ceiling storage, a traditional butler sink, space for additional appliances, and side door access—making it both practical and beautifully integrated into the design of the home.

The drawing room, an elegant double-aspect space, features panelled walls, a gas fireplace, and bi-folding doors to a covered verandah—perfect for year-round entertaining.

The property is highly versatile as it can be enjoyed as one large family home or well suited for multi-generational living or long-term guests, thanks to two thoughtfully designed annexes.

Annexe One is arranged over two levels and offers outstanding flexibility. It benefits from its own front door, but also connects directly to the main kitchen/living areas—making it equally suitable as a separate annexe or as part of the principal accommodation. The ground floor includes a spacious reception room with tiled floors, underfloor heating, and bi-folding doors to the garden. This space can function either as the annexe’s living room or as an additional reception area for the main house. A well-equipped gloss kitchen completes the lower level. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, both with en suite bathrooms—ideal for extended family, older children, guests, or live-in support.

Annexe Two, situated above the triple garage, is arranged as a generous studio apartment with quadruple-aspect windows, a defined living/sleeping area, fitted kitchen, and a stylish shower room. On the ground floor, the annex lobby includes a cloakroom with a low-level WC, as well as space and plumbing for a washing machine. The triple garage itself features three electric up-and-over doors, tiled flooring, and stable doors to the garden.

The first floor of the main house continues to impress. A galleried landing with a large feature window leads to four double bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed and beautifully finished. The principal suite enjoys bi-folding doors to a Juliet balcony, sweeping panoramic views, a walk-in dressing room with mirrored wardrobes, and access to a private roof garden with artificial lawn. The en suite is fitted to a luxurious standard, with a freestanding bath, corner shower, and bespoke storage. Additional bedrooms feature character details such as dado rails and fitted wardrobes, and are served by well-appointed en suite and family bathrooms—each finished in a style that complements the rest of the home.

Whether enjoyed as a single family residence or adapted for extended living, this home offers a rare combination of space, flexibility and craftsmanship. With sweeping panoramic views, beautifully appointed interiors, and a layout that evolves with your lifestyle, it is a home designed to be lived in and loved for generations to come.

At the front, smartly designed raised walled beds add a touch of greenery and structure to the courtyard, creating an attractive and low-maintenance setting. To the rear, an expansive stone terrace wraps around the house, offering multiple spaces for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet. From here, far-reaching, south easterly facing views stretch across rolling countryside—an exceptional backdrop to this beautifully kept garden. The large, well-maintained lawn sweeps away from the terrace, is bordered by mature trees, colourful shrubs, and lush hedging, ensuring complete privacy. A standout feature is the covered infinity swim spa, equipped with a ‘swim against’ current system—ideal for both exercise and relaxation. Tucked discreetly at the far end of the garden is a practical working area, home to a greenhouse and two garden sheds, offering excellent storage and cultivation space. The outdoor setting is as practical as it is picturesque, delivering a rare blend of functionality and tranquillity.
