Enjoying direct access to the surrounding countryside, the property backs onto the woodland and footpaths of the North Downs, while Gomshall railway station is conveniently located less than half a mile away. The present owners have comprehensively renovated and modernised the property to an exceptional standard, including the retiling and refelting of the roof. At the heart of the home is a magnificent open-plan kitchen/dining room - beautifully fitted with an extensive range of quality units, integrated appliances, quartz worktops and a large central island. Folding doors open onto a substantial sun terrace, creating a seamless connection between the house and garden. The charming double-aspect sitting room features a wood-burning stove, attractive curved bay window and conservatory, while a study area, cloakroom and utility/boiler room complete the ground floor. The first floor provides a main bedroom with dressing area and luxurious en-suite, together with three further bedrooms (all with built in wardrobes) and a beautifully appointed family bathroom. Approached via gates, a generous shingled driveway provides extensive parking and access to the detached garage with adjoining garden store. The attractive front garden is principally laid to lawn, while to the rear a substantial sun terrace creates an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with steps rising to delightful lawns bordered by mature trees and well-established planting. Beyond, the gardens gently rise to a useful stable and store, before opening into a delightful paddock enjoying an elevated position with glorious views across the surrounding Surrey countryside. Backing directly onto the North Downs, the grounds offer an exceptional combination of privacy, space and immediate access to miles of beautiful walking and riding country. In all, the grounds extend to about 1.63 acres.
