With its exquisite late Georgian architectural detailing, Browne's Lodge stands as a prime example of the period and is Listed Grade II*. The house occupies a commanding position on the outskirts of the centre of Reigate, a treasured town in Surrey. A stone plaque dates its construction back to 1784, showcasing the enduring elegance and symmetry characteristic of its era. Meticulous restoration efforts by the current owners have preserved its historical charm while modernising its infrastructure, transforming it into a splendid family residence.
The restoration works have encompassed various facets, including re-plastering, updating of wiring and plumbing and complete redecoration. The honeyed oak floors have been lovingly restored and the lower ground floor has been reimagined to provide the house with a modern kitchen/breakfast room. The grand reception areas on the upper ground floor boast ceilings nearly twelve feet high adorned with original ornate coving and frieze detailing, complemented by original fireplaces.
Ascending to the first floor reveals a spacious landing
leading to the principal bedroom and two additional
bedrooms. The bathroom has been modernized with
underfloor heating, contemporary fixtures and a separate shower. A shower room and separate cloakroom are located on the mezzanine level. The second floor, accessed via a secondary staircase, features four bedrooms, with one currently serving as a playroom along with another bathroom. From this vantage point, panoramic views stretch over Reigate Cricket Club and Priory Park to the south as well
as the North Downs and Surrey Hills to the west.
Garden and Grounds
To the east of the house are the amazing walled formal gardens with lawn, herbaceous boarders, mature topiary
and wonderful flower beds as well as York stone path, terraced and lower pond. To the west of the house is a well proportioned garden with a generous parking area.
Reigate benefits a comprehensive range of amenities, shops and boutiques. There are a good number of restaurants, cafes and bars. It is ideally situated for the commuter with both Reigate and Redhill stations being accessible providing connections to London Bridge and Victoria. The M25 Junction 8 is less than four miles to the north with links to London and the wider motorway network. Gatwick Airport is approximately 7.5 miles distant whilst Heathrow Airport is within 30 miles. The area is particularly well served with state and independent schools for all ages including Holmesdale, The Priory, Dunottar, Reigate College and Reigate Grammar.
There is good walking and riding locally on Reigate Hill, Reigate Heath, and The North Downs Way. For golfers, nearby courses include Reigate Hill and Reigate Heath.
