This late Victorian detached home is a masterclass in character, comfort, and community spirit. From the very first glance, its beautiful exterior leaves a lasting impression - a traditional brick driveway bordered by a low brick wall and softened by verdant planting leads to a striking façade of painted brick and pebble dash, crowned by a mock Tudor gable. Ornate white fascias and soffits frame the roofline, while original red brick chimneys evoke a timeless elegance. Welcoming you home, an arched porch surrounds a traditional front door with exquisite stained glass, a true statement of the home’s heritage and charm.
Inside, the home unfolds with all the grandeur and warmth of the Victorian era, tastefully paired with the comfort of modern living. The front reception is a space to be savoured: tall ceilings, a generous bay window, and calming green hues lend a serene, elegant atmosphere. Deep wooden floors underfoot, picture rails, and bespoke built-in cabinetry tell stories of a well-loved home, while a log burner adds that perfect touch of cosiness, the kind of place to sip a hot drink and watch the world go by.
During seasonal times of year, the street comes alive in a joyful celebration of community spirit. Neighbours compete in friendly decoration contests, children play along the pavements, and the warmth between residents is unmistakable - Deerings Road is a place where you don’t just live, you belong.
To the rear, the home opens into a beautifully extended and thoughtfully designed social space. A second log burner sets the tone in the rear reception room, where a sitting area blends with a relaxed music corner, forming the perfect hub for unwinding or entertaining. The adjoining kitchen is a showpiece of understated luxury, where shaker cabinetry in soft neutral tones, classic nickel hardware, and a charming butler sink combine to create an effortlessly welcoming space. Whether it’s a quiet family breakfast, lively dinner with friends, or relaxed drinks by the fire, this is a home designed for sharing special moments.
Beyond the dining area, double doors open to a beautifully curated 100ft garden. Sundays here are made for sunshine, church bells from nearby St Mary’s chiming softly in the background. A generous lawn stretches out, bordered by mature hedging and vibrant planting that bursts with colour through the seasons. A greenhouse and a large shed offer both practical space and a nod to the home’s lovingly maintained green credentials - the current owners have enlisted a professional gardener to keep the outdoor space in pristine condition, making it as welcoming as the home itself.
Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged across two floors. On the first floor, each bedroom retains its own original fireplace, from ornate cast iron surrounds to beautifully tiled Victorian mantels, every detail whispers of the home's rich heritage. The family bathroom offers a luxurious setting for relaxation, complete with a traditional roll-top bath, tongue-and-groove paneling, and timeless fittings. The second floor provides additional space and flexibility, featuring two further double bedrooms and a stylish bathroom with metro tiles and a separate shower.
Deerings Road itself tells a fascinating story. Once a 'show road' for Victorian architects, each plot here was an opportunity for architectural self-expression — a rare opportunity in its time. Prospective homeowners could stroll along the road and quite literally “shop” for their ideal house design, selecting an architect whose style they most admired. The result is a street that reads like a living exhibition of Victorian architecture, with no two homes quite the same. It’s this rich legacy of individuality that gives Deerings Road its enduring charm and character.
Location is everything, and this home enjoys one of Reigate’s finest. With Reigate Grammar School just a short stroll up the road, Reigate College within easy reach, and Reigate Station nearby for quick connections into London, it’s perfectly placed for families and professionals alike.
And when it’s time to unwind, Reigate’s historic high street is just a pleasant walk away. There you’ll find a curated mix of independent boutiques, award-winning restaurants, artisan coffee shops, and cosy pubs. Whether it’s browsing the shelves at the bookshop, enjoying brunch at Cullenders or Kalm Kitchen, or picking up freshly baked goods from Chalk Hills Bakery, the high street offers a lifestyle that’s both refined and relaxed.
