5 bed detached house for sale

High Trees Road, Reigate RH2

Tucked away at the quiet culmination of one of Reigate’s most sought-after private roads, High Trees Road offers more than a home, it offers a way of life. This five-bedroom detached residence, with its refined architectural flow and artful connection to the surrounding landscape, feels both contemporary and timeless, embracing the spirit of English country living while meeting the expectations of modern family life.

Approached via electric gates and a sweeping driveway, the first impression is one of calm assurance. Here, privacy and elegance coexist with a sense of welcome, a home that feels both retreat and gathering place. The generous façade opens to over 4,839 square feet of beautifully arranged accommodation, with rooms that invite daylight from every angle and spaces that unfold gracefully for both family comfort and entertaining.

At the heart of the home lies the Mark Wilkinson kitchen, a triumph of craftsmanship and design. The sculptural half-moon island, dressed in granite, forms the centrepiece of a room conceived for conviviality. Curves echo through the space with the subtly dropped ceilings, softly illuminated above. From here, the eye travels outward through windows framing the garden from three sides, while doors open to terraces that draw dining outdoors through the seasons.

The dual-aspect sitting room is a picture of understated elegance, with its stone fireplace promising warmth through the winter months. Flowing naturally onward, the conservatory provides an exquisite transition – its atrium roof bathing the open-tread staircase in natural light, while glass walls blur the line between inside and out. Each space connects intuitively, offering versatility for family life, home working, or quiet moments of retreat.

Upstairs, the principal suite occupies its own tranquil domain, with garden views and ensuite bathroom designed to a standard of quiet luxury. Four further bedrooms, each individual in aspect and proportion, share beautifully appointed bathrooms, ensuring both practicality and comfort. The broad landing, with its gentle light and leafy outlook, lends itself perfectly as a study or reading area.

Outside, the mature gardens are a true sanctuary, thoughtfully landscaped to balance structure with softness. Pathways weave through lawned clearings, water features, and abundant planting, leading to secluded seating areas where one might pause with a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. Two garden pods with power offer peaceful spaces for work or creativity, while a summer house and stores complete the ensemble.

Set on one of Reigate’s most exclusive private roads, this home enjoys a rare blend of seclusion and connectivity. Just moments from the neighbouring Redhill Common, it’s ideally placed for morning dog walks beneath a canopy of trees or peaceful weekend rambles with far-reaching views across the South Downs. Families will appreciate the proximity to some of the area’s most well-regarded schools - with Dunottar School just along the road and Reigate Grammar, Micklefield, and Reigate St Mary’s all within easy reach.

A short walk or cycle leads you to Reigate’s characterful historic high street, a charming patchwork of boutique shops, independent restaurants, and cosy pubs, with Priory Park providing a natural centrepiece for families, picnics, and impromptu ice cream stops. Closer still is Lesbourne Road, a favourite among locals for its village-like feel and curated amenities, including artisan bakery, deli, wine shops, and the much-loved Nisou café, a go-to for flat whites, pastries, and easy catch-ups with friends.

For those commuting or travelling further afield, the location offers excellent transport links. Redhill station, with its frequent services to London Terminals, Gatwick Airport and The South, is an easy 20 minute walk, or 8 minute drive from the property. Access to the M25 is swift via Junction 8, placing Gatwick Airport and the wider motorway network within easy reach. Yet despite this convenience, life here feels blissfully tucked away: A quiet, tree-lined enclave where birdsong outpaces suburban sounds and home feels like a true retreat.
