4 bedroom detached house for sale

Extended four bedroom family home on a quiet private lane.

Description

Tucked away on a private lane in a quiet area of Farnham, this four bedroom home has been in the same ownership for nearly fifty years. The property has been extended and improved by the owners to create generous living space, including three reception rooms, a good sized kitchen/breakfast room and a double garage, with scope for a buyer to further upgrade the property to their own requirements.

The property has a spacious entrance hall with a coat cupboard and cloakroom. A separate dining room at the front of the house has a gas fireplace and is currently being used as a study/snug, and a larger dual-aspect sitting room, also with a gas fireplace, has bifold doors leading out to the rear terrace. The kitchen has been upgraded to a high specification with stylish contemporary cabinets, a peninsula island with seating and integrated Miele appliances, and is open to a breakfast room with bifold doors to the garden. Off the kitchen is a useful utility room and access to the integrated double garage. At the back of the house is a vaulted garden room which is flooded with light from skylights, sliding doors and windows looking out over the rear garden.

Upstairs, the property benefits from four good sized bedrooms all with built-in wardrobes, two of which are en suite and two that are served by a family bathroom.

Outside the property has parking for several cars on the block paved driveway with access to the integrated double garage with automatic doors. There is side access to the back of the house, where a paved terrace wraps around the house, with steps leading to a lawned back garden with mature trees and shrubs.
