5 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Surrey

3 5 4

Hidden away from the world with the seclusion of grounds and gardens that reach out over approximately 1.6 acres, Woodland Acres sits back from Hascombe Road at the end of an extensive gravel driveway.

Classically styled its two storey layout is neutrally presented giving you the option of simply moving straight in or refreshing and updating aspects to perfectly reflect your own sense of style. However, for anyone looking to enhance, extend or completely remodel a property, the impressive plot means that this Godalming home has an enviable wealth of possibilities (STNC).

Creating a restful gallery to sit and admire your surroundings a wonderfully wide loggia with graceful arches stretches out across the entrance echoing the architecture of an Italian villa. Its generous dimensions are rivalled inside by a 30ft entrance hall beautifully lit by the skylights of a part vaulted ceiling. The wreathed volute end of the staircase's handrail combines with subtle architraves and a heritage colour scheme to lend a sense of understated elegance while a wide archway leads the way to a trio of bedrooms and an abundance of space for modern family life.

With an array of windows and French doors allowing the gardens to add an idyllic backdrop, a spacious sitting room has a magnificent focal point fireplace. The intricate detailing of its mantelpiece is complemented by the cornicing that wraps-around overhead, while the French doors tempt you out onto the private terracing. The garden vistas continue in an adjacent formal dining room that connects with both the family room and kitchen to give a highly fluid feel. Wide bow windows enhance the impressive dimensions of the family room where French doors give you further excuse to step out into the summer sun, while the kitchen's Shaker-style cabinetry adds a traditional yet contemporary twist to their period surroundings. Notably appointed with sleek black granite countertops, the considered design extends down into a curved peninsula. Together with a brick framed archway it perfectly delineates and unites an adjoining breakfast room to produce a brilliantly sociable place to spend time together. Matching storage and a herringbone floor increase its charm while a fitted utility room enables laundry appliances to be hidden from view.

Cleverly laid out, across the entrance hall four bedrooms sit peacefully away from the main living accommodation each looking out onto swathes of greenery. With a sweeping archway and French doors that let the gardens become an easy flowing extension of the space, it is easy to see that the large principal bedroom could be a heavenly retreat. Producing a supremely calm and restful air, it has plenty of storage within a wall of tasteful fitted wardrobes and sits next to a deluxe family bathroom.

Two further double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes of their own, include one with a modern ensuite that has both a bath and a shower cubicle, while the fourth single bedroom with its built-in storage could equally be a study or playroom. At the far end of the hallway, an additional modern cloakroom/shower room adds convenience and versatility to the ground floor layout of this enchanting residence.

Explore further and upstairs you'll find a cleverly incorporated double bedroom suite that teenagers will love and gives pause for thought on your choice of main bedroom. Filled with natural light it is positioned to give unrivalled picturesque views of the gardens. Beneath high sloping ceilings its extensive floor space gives ample chance to have wardrobe and study areas while full height windows sit to either side of French doors opening onto a balcony that perfectly captures the beautiful scenery. A large en suite bathroom offers views of the treetops via a substantial skylight and could be refreshed to give a contemporary finishing touch, while outside on the galleried landing there's easy access to walk-in eaves storage.


Outside
Merely 1.2 miles from Godalming, Woodland Acres sits sequestered in circa 1.6 acres of idyllic grounds and gardens creating a rural idyll within moments of everything that a modern family needs. Offering a magnificent measure of privacy and seclusion in each and every direction, the prodigious plot gives scope for the property to be extensively remodelled, enhanced or even rebuilt whilst leaving ample opportunity to have a garden kitchen, self-contained annexe or garden office/room as well (STNC).

A superbly extensive gravel driveway bordered by mature hedgerows and beds of lavender. A detached single garage combines with integral double garaging to supply ample secure off-road parking while all around you, capacious lawns entice you to take a break from the hubbub of daily life.

Open up the trio of French doors on the ground floor and you'll find it irresistibly tempting to step out onto an expansive terrace that's ideally sized for both low-key afternoons and large scale al fresco entertaining. A trio of steps leads gently up to the vast lawns where the high line of the bordering trees and shrubs gives a tremendous backdrop, enhancing your sense of privacy further still.
