Charming Grade II listed cottage in the heart of Esher.
Bursting with charm and character this delightful period cottage has been beautifully extended and comprehensively refurbished to provide fantastic living space perfect for modern living. Originally the local blacksmiths cottage, this home is located in the very heart of Esher and enjoys wonderful views over Esher Green.
The reception room with beautiful wooden flooring boasts an impressive original open fireplace and outlook to the pretty front garden. Adjacent is a study with useful built in storage.
The spacious kitchen/dining room has a range of units, integrated appliances and is flooded with natural light by way of two large roof lanterns. There is a feature exposed brick wall with built in wood burning stove and Italian Porcelain Driftwood floor with underfloor heating. Two sets of doors, one of which is bi-folding, add further light to this area, opening directly onto the terraced area and provide delightful garden views.
Completing the ground floor is a bathroom with useful cupboards currently being used as a utility area.
Stairs lead to the first floor where you will find two bedrooms, both with built in storage, and a modern shower room / wet room.
Externally to the rear this property has a deceptively large garden which has an abundance of mature trees, shrubs and pretty well-stocked flower beds. There is a lawned area (artificial turf) with a gravelled path leading to two self-contained fully insulated and heated studios. These both have separate shower rooms and WCs and are ideal for older children or family guests. They both have verandas and a shared courtyard area. A summer house, currently used as storage, can be found at the end of the garden also with power and light and a stylish slated area ideal for a Zen garden.
To the front the property benefits from an attractive and secluded garden with mature shrubs and hedging. There are two resident parking permits available with the property.

Originally the old Blacksmiths for the area, this property is steeped with character and history. However the owners have sympathetically transformed the property with a comprehensive renovation of the property including the creation of a wonderful open plan kitchen/dining/living space. I absolutely love it.
