Well appointed family home with fabulous open plan living space.

Description

Shortland represents an outstanding family home situated on a popular residential road in central Guildford. Accommodation extends to approximately 3200 sq ft and is ideally suited to families with its open plan arrangement, generous accommodation and proximity to excellent schools.

From the welcoming entrance hall is a formal sitting room, a comfortable space with a modern style feature fireplace. Beyond the sitting room is the kitchen / family room which is very much the heart of the home, and is a truly memorable space measuring over 31 ft. The room is filled with natural light from the skylight windows and floor to ceiling sliding doors, which open on to the terrace and garden beyond. The high-end German kitchen has been designed in a luxurious, contemporary style with modern cabinetry, built-in Miele and Neff appliances, a large central island with breakfast bar and generous space to relax, dine and entertain. Off the kitchen is a useful utility room with generous storage, as well as access to the flexible reception/Gym space which also offers further storage.

On the first floor is the large principal bedroom with an attached dressing room and en suite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms (one en suite) and the family bathroom.

Additionally, there are two flexible rooms downstairs which could be utilised as bedrooms if required and are currently presented as a guest bedroom room and a study. There is a shower room off the main entrance hall which could service the bedrooms.

The gardens have been exceptionally well kept by the current owners with a paved terrace wrapping around the house, an area of level lawn, a seating area to the rear of the garden and the garden itself is well screened by mature hedging and specimen trees.

To the front of the property is a driveway with parking space for multiple cars.
