This charming home is situated in a semi-rural position, offering the best of both worlds. A peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of city life, yet still within reach of local amenities and good transport links to London.

Offering extensive elegant grounds, 23 Weald Way is perfect for those who love spending time outdoors, with a wrap-around garden and level lawns for family life to enjoy sunshine all day long. With a charming history this home is a unique find - originally built to a design by RIBA architect and author, Gordon Allen. Construction started in 1920 and was completed in 1921 when Harry and Helen Harding made it their permanent home. It remained a country cottage until it was extended by the Flannery family in the 1960s.

The home is approached from a long sweeping driveway with a double garage and ample parking for several cars. The characterful house offers original features such as beams and an open fireplace yet is modernised, with good ceiling heights for a comfortable living experience.

The kitchen is light and spacious with multiple high-quality appliances including a Miele fridge, Liebherr freezer, Siemens dishwasher, Siemens 5-ring gas hob/extractor, Neff double oven and warming drawer, surrounded by grey units, with Karndean flooring. The good-sized utility room is off the kitchen and has access to the garden. A downstairs toilet and a large storage cupboard lead off the utility room.

A further reception room, currently used as a study, leads onto a paved landscaped patio and sunny seating area. Accessed from an open staircase, the first floor has a family bathroom and four spacious double bedrooms. The master benefits from a very large en-suite bathroom and the three double bedrooms are bright and spacious, with views over the gardens. The landing also provides floor-to-ceiling storage.
