Property description
A Beautifully Restored Edwardian Home Steeped in History.
Built in 1906, Sylvan Mount is an elegant Edwardian residence beautifully blending historic charm with thoughtful modern restoration. Originally constructed as a single grand home- one wing serving as the family quarters with and the other a grand space for entertaining guests -the property was later divided into two residences.
Today, it stands as a testament to timeless craftsmanship, lovingly restored by its current owners with meticulous attention to detail.
Every room celebrates the home's heritage with tall floor to ceiling heights throughout the spaces. Original stained-glass windows have been carefully preserved and double-glazed to enhance efficiency without compromising character. Period-style radiators have been reinstated to match the originals, and the original oak flooring has been bought back to life to a rich finish. Exposed wooden beams have been lightened to complement the bright, airy feel throughout.
This is a home restored with heart-every inch cared for and refined to create a truly special atmosphere.
The open-plan kitchen and breakfast room is ideal for modern family living, featuring high-end appliances including a Fisher & Paykel fridge, freezer, and oven, along with a Miele dishwasher.
There's ample space for family breakfasts or for budding chefs to create while enjoying views across the garden.
Off the kitchen lies the formal dining room, featuring an original fireplace and double doors opening to the garden. This inviting space is perfect for family gatherings, intimate dinners, or simply enjoying a glass of wine while overlooking the greenery.
The lounge, with its grand bay window and open fireplace, serves as the heart of the home-warm, elegant, and inviting. From here, doors lead to the conservatory, currently used as an garden room and art studio but equally suited as a playroom or relaxing garden room.
The ground floor also includes a cloakroom (WC) and a utility room fitted with a wine fridge, and integrated washer/dryer.
A grand staircase, featuring a stunning stained-glass window and panelled walls, leads to the first floor. Here you'll find three double bedrooms, including a luxurious master suite with a dressing area, dual-aspect windows, and calm, neutral décor-a true sanctuary of comfort. The en suite bathroom is finished to a high standard with a freestanding bath, original sink, and a separate shower. The additional bedrooms feature lovely wallpaper, double-aspect windows, and fitted wardrobes, making them perfect children's rooms or guest spaces. The family bathroom has been beautifully restored, retaining the original dated tiling and sink, complemented by a bath with overhead shower.
On the second floor, two further bedrooms offer flexible use. One currently serves as a home office and cinema room, complete with bifold doors opening onto a private balcony-a tranquil space with breathtaking valley views, ideal for remote work or quiet reflection.
Outside, the property enjoys extensive manicured gardens with direct access to private woodlands-perfect for peaceful walks and exploration. A large driveway provides ample parking, alongside a separate garage. The home is also a short walk from Woldingham Village Club, which serves as the local pub and is known for its annual beer festival and friendly community.
Woldingham is located in the heart of the Surrey Hills, in a setting designated as an "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty" (AONB) and this home takes full advantage of this with its breathtaking views across the valleys and immediate access to beautiful trails. All this and its 36 mins train journey into London Victoria and 32 mins into London Bridge making it a perfect commuter village into London whilst still embracing beautiful English Countryside.
The village is full of young families that appreciate the proximity to the village's own Woodlea School and a selection of excellent private schools including Woldingham Girls School, Hazelwood School and Caterham School.
The village is also great for golf enthusiasts that can enjoy the two nearby golf courses and also for cyclists wanting to enjoy routes through the English countryside.
This exceptional home offers the perfect balance of history, elegance, modern comfort and nature -a rare opportunity to rent a truly remarkable Edwardian residence.
