This unique Grade II listed four/five-bedroom home, with lodge-style architecture, is nestled on 7.5 acres of ancient woodland and serves as the ultimate wildlife sanctuary. Boasting a spacious lawn, double garage with adjacent greenhouse and a secure gated entrance with ample off-street parking, this property is truly one-of-a-kind. Features include a unique Defence Fort with a rich historical past and an annexe, perfect for an Airbnb.
Perhaps the most fascinating feature of this property is the Defence Fort, a Scheduled Historical Monument formerly known as Foster Down Fort. The fort served as an ammunition store and a defence for London against foreign invasion and the main residence was once used as its tool store. Its semi-circular position and being built into the bank create a central courtyard-type space, while underground storage rooms offer further practicality; not to mention, the outstanding views of the idyllic countryside surrounding Caterham.
The property further benefits from an annexe, ideal for an Airbnb. The bright and comfortable space enjoys an ensuite shower room and offers the perfect spot for catching the occasional badger at night!
Located on the outskirts of the North Downs, Caterham is set within in the picturesque countryside of Surrey.

This area is perfect for couples and families seeking a serene escape from urban life, while still catering to all their essential needs. With easy access to schools, shops and services in Caterham Valley and Caterham-on-the-Hill, it offers a comfortable and hassle-free lifestyle.
