Approaching the carriage driveway of this property sets the scene for just how lovely it is inside and immediately you step into the panelled reception hall with original oak parquet flooring, you are struck by a delightful ambiance and this feeling continues throughout the property.
Dating from the early 20th Century, this gorgeous home exudes much of its period grandeur. It has been modernised in a very particular way, retaining all of its jaw dropping architectural features from the period. These include oak wall panelling and flooring, intricate and interesting plaster work and tasteful decoration, to name but a few.
All of the current owner’s restoration has taken advantage of all that is good from the original interior and blended it perfectly with other exceptional modern touches. Additional features include an Inglenook fireplace, several other original fireplaces with detailed surrounds and a magnificent sweeping staircase to a large first floor galleried landing with stained glass casement windows.
This is undoubtedly a happy house and as you walk through each room, a sense of homeliness and happiness develops. Without doubt it would be a splendid place in which to bring up a family. It has character, charm, a really spacious feel and accommodation with a very practical layout.
The ground floor accommodation is made up of three reception rooms, all with bay windows, the two main interconnecting rooms enjoying a beautiful garden vista! The reception room has a spectacular inglenook fireplace, parquet flooring and ornate plaster cornice. The dining room adjacent, continues with the theme of the solid oak parquet floor, panelled walls and plaster cornice. The third reception at the front of the property is laid out as a study, also with parquet flooring, bay window and plaster cornice. The large kitchen with island has a walk-in pantry leading to a utility/boot room. Finally, a guest cloakroom from the entrance lobby and a shower room/WC off the receiving hall, complete the ground floor accommodation.
An original sweeping staircase and balustrade leads to the first floor landing which gives access to four large double bedrooms. The spacious master bedroom proudly displays panelled walls, bay window and ornate coving, along with a bank of fitted wardrobes. It also features a stunning en suite shower room. Of the other three bedrooms, two have fitted wardrobes, the third, a wash basin. A staircase from the first-floor landing leads to the second floor which has three further dedicated double bedrooms, the largest currently laid out as a living/games room. The two other rooms on this floor are a gym and a large, luxurious bathroom.
To the outside of the property there is a very large mature rear garden with a shaped lawn and mature borders providing a great deal of privacy. To the side of the property is an enclosed courtyard giving access to the utility/boot room and a detached garage with garden stores behind. The front garden includes a carriage driveway, providing parking for several cars!
Southborough is part of Surbiton, an historic town close to London and renowned for its direct, fast and frequent railway service to London Waterloo. The river Thames with its fabulous tow-path is a short stroll away whilst the High Street offers a choice of delightful cafes, fabulous eateries, lively bars and excellent shopping and amenity facilities.
