The house, double-fronted in nature, has parking along its north side on a gravel driveway. A central front doorway opens into a light and bright entrance hallway with an oak staircase (with reclaimed oak floorboards) and wide oak floors, together with a guest WC.
On the south side of the house, and leading through into the dining area, is a large family room/playroom (used by the previous owners as a dining room), ideal for children of all ages. The dining room opens out into the main living area and links to the kitchen, with a range of fitted units, a 5-ring Rangemaster induction hob, an integrated dishwasher and space for a fridge freezer on its south side. A side entrance leads out on to the gravel driveway and towards its garage, complete with a Podpoint Electric charging point.
The tri-aspect living room with reclaimed oak floorboards and a working fireplace sits at the westerly end of the house and benefits from excellent light. A doorway leads into the west-facing conservatory (with electrically operated lantern roof opening and underfloor heating), which links with the annexe part of the house, past a well-sized utility room (with underfloor heating and ample storage), as well as leading out into the mature garden.
Alongside the garage, with independent exterior access and from the main house, is an excellent guest/annexe bedroom with en suite shower room. A second doorway leads out into a Mediterranean-style walled sun garden, perfect for the afternoon sun and home to peaches and figs.
From the entrance hallway, the staircase winds up to the first floor where, at the front of the house, three double bedrooms (two with excellent fitted wardrobes) share a family bathroom with underfloor heating. At the rear (west-facing) side of the house, the principal suite (which was reconfigured by the current owners) benefits from excellent views over the garden and beyond to the North Downs from its Juliet balcony, together with a dressing room and modern shower room with underfloor heating. The fourth bedroom is currently used as an office with bespoke built-in storage.
The west-facing garden is full of mature trees (including apple, quince and pear trees), plants and shrubs and provides excellent options for al fresco dining and entertaining on its patio and grass immediately outside the conservatory doors.
