A substantial and extended Victorian family home of about 5,207 sq. ft. set in mature grounds of about 0.61 acre that is perfect for schools and the commute.
Description
A beautiful detached family home, originally built in the late Victorian period and now beautifully presented to provide a comfortable blend of the traditional Victorian character with high quality modern fittings and finishes. The end result is a substantial family home with many charming period features evident throughout, yet providing for every aspect of flexible modern family living. The home retains many original features including some impressive original fireplaces and is arranged over three floors to provide about 5,207 sq. ft of accommodation excluding the garage.
On the ground floor there is an impressive reception hall that leads to the principal reception rooms. The sitting and dining rooms feature original bay windows and other details including beautiful fireplaces. The rear of the property has now been extended and reconfigured to create a lovely kitchen/family space which has been created to maximise light and space and has doors on to the terrace and rear garden. The kitchen has been bespoke designed and fitted with stone worktops and a central island unit.
The family room is located at the front but could easily be adapted to form part of a separate annexe if required as there is already a wet room attached and separate access from outside. Located at the rear of the house there is a useful utility room, larder, pool shower room and plant room. There is also an original cellar area that would provide excellent storage.
On the first floor there are currently six bedrooms, a separate shower room and a modern fitted family bathroom. The suite of rooms on the second floor could also be used for multiple purposes. Bedroom seven would be ideal as a games room but with the adjacent living room and en suite shower room could also become a full suite for guests or lucky teenagers.
Outside, there is a private driveway and turning circle at the front that creates an imposing entrance as well as off street parking for a number of cars. There are two adjoining, detached garages at the side. The rear garden comprises an entertaining terrace that, in turn, leads on to good size lawn with mature trees and shrubs providing privacy and screening. There is a swimming pool and terrace at the rear of the garden.

The M25, Junction 8 is accessed very easily along Wray Lane, with links to London and the wider motorway network. For the frequent air traveller Gatwick Airport is around eight miles distant.
