Above the garage, a self-contained annex offers plenty of potential, it's perfectly suited for guest accommodation, a home office, or could be converted further (subject to planning).
The main house retains much of its original character, beginning with the stable door that opens into a warm and inviting entrance hall. Inside, the layout offers three distinct reception areas, including a cosy living room centred around a beautiful fireplace with a log burner, perfect for cooler evenings. A conservatory at the rear makes an ideal spot to enjoy the garden views year-round, while the dedicated dining room provides a lovely setting for entertaining.

Step outside and the garden continues the home’s story, a full-length, secluded space with a large lawn bordered by beautifully stocked beds. It’s a private haven for gardening, relaxing, or summer entertaining.
Set in the sought-after village of Blindley Heath, this one-of-a-kind home combines rural tranquillity with everyday convenience, and offers scope to shape the space further to your lifestyle.
Location Guide
Blindley Heath, located in the Tandridge district of Surrey, is a tranquil and predominantly rural village that offers a peaceful lifestyle within easy reach of larger towns. Surrounded by open countryside and nestled close to the border with West Sussex, Blindley Heath retains a distinctly pastoral charm. It appeals to those who value natural surroundings, traditional village life, and a strong sense of community.
Transport Links
Although rural in nature, Blindley Heath enjoys good connectivity to surrounding areas. The A22 runs directly through the village, providing straightforward road access to East Grinstead to the south and Godstone and the M25 to the north. This makes commuting by car to London or Gatwick Airport relatively convenient. For rail services, residents typically travel to nearby stations such as Godstone, Lingfield, or East Grinstead, which offer regular connections to London Victoria and London Bridge. Local bus routes serve the village as well, connecting it to neighbouring towns for shopping, schooling, and leisure.
Education
Educational options near Blindley Heath are varied despite the village's small size. The nearest primary schools include Lingfield Primary School and St Stephen's Church of England Primary School, both of which are within a short drive and have good reputations locally. For secondary education, residents often look to schools in Lingfield and Oxted, such as Lingfield College, an independent school offering education from nursery through to sixth form, and Oxted School, one of the largest secondary schools in Surrey. The wider area also benefits from a selection of both state and independent schools, providing a broad range of choices for families.
Local Attractions
The natural beauty of the surrounding countryside is one of Blindley Heath’s main attractions. The area includes Blindley Heath SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest), a rare example of Surrey’s historic wet heathland habitat. This reserve is managed by the Surrey Wildlife Trust and offers walking trails and wildlife observation opportunities. The nearby British Wildlife Centre, located just a short drive away, provides a fascinating look at native British species and is a favourite among families. Historic sites such as St John the Evangelist Church, with its peaceful churchyard and classic village setting, add to the area's character.
Entertainment
