    The welcoming entrance hall, with its oak flooring and elegant staircase rising to the first floor, sets the tone for the well-presented accommodation.

    The principal reception room is particularly impressive, extending to over 32 ft in length and enjoying a dual-aspect outlook with French doors opening onto the garden. This beautifully proportioned space provides an exceptional setting for both formal entertaining and relaxed family living.

    Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the superb open-plan kitchen/breakfast and dining room. Generous in scale and flooded with natural light, the space features a comprehensive range of fitted cabinetry, integrated appliances, a central island with breakfast bar seating and ample room for a large dining table.

    Bi-fold and French doors create a seamless connection with the terrace and gardens beyond, making it ideal for contemporary family living and entertaining throughout the year.

    A separate utility room adjoins the kitchen, while a comfortable TV/family room provides additional flexible reception space.

    The first-floor accommodation is arranged around a spacious central landing, enhanced by a large feature window that fills the space with natural light.

    The principal suite enjoys a private position and comprises a generous bedroom, an extensive range of bespoke fitted wardrobes forming an impressive dressing area, and a well-appointed en suite bathroom.

    A further double bedroom benefits from its own en suite shower room, while three additional double bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for family and guests, several enjoying attractive views across the gardens and surrounding countryside. These bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, creating a practical and well-balanced arrangement for modern family living.

    Externally, the gardens provide an attractive setting for the house, with expansive lawns, mature trees, established borders and a variety of seating and entertaining areas.

    A greenhouse and productive garden areas will appeal to keen gardeners, while the terrace immediately adjoining the house provides an ideal spot for al fresco dining.

    Beyond the gardens, there are delightful views across open fields and rolling Surrey countryside, enhancing the property's sense of peace and privacy.

    A substantial detached garage/workshop offers excellent storage and parking, while the extensive driveway provides additional space for multiple vehicles.
