An elegant detached period property with a beautiful garden.

Description

This attractive white painted period detached property, built circa 1840, is bursting with charm and character throughout including high ceilings, ornate coving and high skirting boards. Of particular note is the convenient location, wonderful south facing garden and flexible accommodation.

You are welcomed in to the bright entrance hall which features a beautiful encaustic tiled floor and exceptional ceiling heights. On the right you will find the double length reception room with views to both the front and rear gardens. This room, whilst open plan, features two separate areas each boasting a fireplace, large windows and pretty ceiling rose. Glazed doors to the rear open directly to the garden. The bright and spacious open plan kitchen/breakfast room includes a range of units, access to the garden and Velux windows overhead which flood this room with natural light. The breakfast area has ample space for a dining table and chairs whilst a useful utility room, positioned off the kitchen, benefits from external side access. At the end of the kitchen a door opens to a family/play room which also enjoys direct garden access via two sets of French doors. There is also an en suite shower room meaning this room doubles as a guest suite if required.

An elegant staircase leads via a half landing, featuring an impressive picture window framing the rear garden, to the first floor where you will find the principal bedroom with front aspect and an en suite shower room. There are 3 further double bedrooms which share the use of the family bathroom.

The beautiful southerly rear garden features an expansive lawned area which is bordered by deep, well-stocked flower beds, established shrubs and mature trees, all of which provide an abundance of greenery and seclusion. Directly behind the house is a patio area with a raised flower bed and stunning wisteria making an attractive, family friendly garden perfect for summer entertainment. The garden has been designed to provide greenery all year around. To the front there is a lawned area and flower beds which create an appealing frontage. There is off-street parking for 3 to 4 cars in addition to the integrated garage, fitted out by the current owners as a gym.

The property also benefits from planning permission for a sizeable extension incorporating a single-story rear extension, first floor front/side extension, new porch and conversion of the loft space. Kingston upon Thames planning reference 22/02604/HOU.
