OVERVIEW:
The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall with attractive, original oak block flooring, oak skirtings, understairs' storage cupboard and access to a convenient cloakroom with WC, basin and quarry tiled floor. Oak block flooring runs similarly through the reception rooms, comprising a dining room with views to the front and a generously-sized sitting room with garden vistas to front and rear, together with an authentic open fireplace to one wall with surrounding low-level bookshelves. French doors open to a sheltered veranda with adjacent paved terrace area.
A well-appointed and recently refitted kitchen completes the ground floor accommodation, providing space for a compact breakfast-sized table and chairs and encompassing a comprehensive range of contemporary fitted cabinetry in a light grey gloss finish with wood laminate counters over. An electric oven, four ring gas hob with tiled splashback and extractor over and undercounter fridge have been integrated, with space/plumbing for a washing machine. Striking wood panelling has been installed to one wall and a hatch opens through to the dining room. A door leads through to a rear lobby area providing access to both the garage and rear garden, with integral space to install a freezer, tumble dryer etc.
From the hall, a wide staircase with distinctive oak handrail rises and turns to a characterful half landing with picture windows providing an attractive outlook to either side. A roomy first floor landing offers access to a shelved airing cupboard housing a Worcester Bosch boiler and the bedroom accommodation. Of particular note is the superbly sized, double-aspect principle bedroom with fitted wardrobes, additional built in cupboard and stunning far-reaching views, taking in The North Downs, town rooftops and parkland belonging to the Squerryes Estate. Two further well-proportioned bedrooms serve as an ideal accompaniment, benefitting themselves from either garden or panoramic views, with one also including a built-in wardrobe. A bathroom incorporating a bath with shower over and pedestal basin and separate WC, complete the accommodation to the first floor.
A beautifully tended and well-stocked front garden is set behind a dense hedge to the lane., with driveway parking for three cars in tandem to one side, leading to an integral single garage. To the rear the garden is largely laid to lawn with surrounding planting, a small patio, brick outhouse and side access to the front driveway. A thick hazel hedge screens the rear garden from the allotments behind.
