A charming detached period property on the redhill/ reigate borders, overlooking commonland to the front

This charming and beautifully presented four to five bedroom detached property is steeped in history, having formerly been the site of a public house of its namesake until 1911, and now recorded as a property of Local Historic Interest. The oldest parts of the property date back to 1730, with more recent additions, The Old Rising Sun having been skilfully and respectfully improved by the current owners, retaining a wealth of period charm in the exposed beams, attractive fireplaces, traditional doors and sympathetic choices of finishes.
