Set peacefully away from Catteshall Road at the end of a long gravel driveway, it is easy to see how The Retreat got its name. A haven from the world outside, this detached chalet bungalow sits nestled within utterly charming grounds that conjure the tranquillity of a quintessential country cottage whilst being within easy reach of central Godalming.
Behind the glazed entrance porch of an attractive yellow brick facade a wonderfully free flowing layout unfolds from a large central hallway where crisp white dado rails punctuate sunshine yellow walls. The herringbone patterns of enviable parquet floors run underfoot seamlessly extending into a duo of reception rooms where they lend a rich warming balance to the elegant presentation.
Filled with light and garden vistas a refined double aspect living room has the homely focal point of working brick fireplace and French doors that tempt you out onto a patio. A separate dining room is generously sized and adaptable to your needs, while across the hallway a notable kitchen/dining room is fully fitted with the classic design of solid wood country cabinets housing a wide array of integrated appliances. Adding to the already generous dimensions an adjoining double aspect utility room has a wealth of versatile space for laundry appliances and has its own handy access to the gardens.
The parquet floors of the hallway and reception rooms continue a wonderful main bedroom that has a supremely calming and restful air. Its wide windows look out onto the surrounding greenery and a wall of tasteful mahogany wardrobes provide plenty of storage. A second double bedroom has an expanse of fitted wardrobes that incorporate a dressing table, and a bathroom with a bidet, bath and corner shower can be refreshed and updated to give a more contemporary feel if preferred. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Generating a host of possibilities, upstairs a spacious third bedroom is currently configured as a study and sitting room. To either side of its prodigious proportions walk-in eaves and loft space supply an abundance of storage and options.
Outside
Leading discreetly off from Catteshall Road a wide gravel path turns into a considerable brick paved frontage that supplies off-road parking for numerous vehicles. The location combined with high evergreen borders prompts a cherished level of privacy and seclusion while to the side a detached garage/workshop could be ideal for those who like to tinker, mend or invent!
These charming and characterful grounds wrap-around to the rear where enclosed gardens create a hidden 'secret garden' feel. Perfectly positioned for views of the landscape's statuesque trees, it features an established lawn, side patio and a paved seating area framed by a vine covered timber pergola. High conifer hedging lends further privacy, a small pond sits tucked in a peaceful corner and a substantial timber outbuilding could be rejuvenated into a summerhouse.
